(A)There is none like You, Lord;
You are (B)great, and Your name is great in might.
(C)Who would not fear You, O (D)King of the nations?
For it is Your due!
For among all the (E)wise men of the nations
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.
But they are altogether (F)stupid and foolish;
The instruction from idols is nothing but wood!
Beaten (G)silver is brought from (H)Tarshish,
And (I)gold from Uphaz,
The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith;
Their clothing is of violet and purple;
They are all the (J)work of skilled people.
10 But the Lord is the (K)true God;
He is the (L)living God and the (M)everlasting King.
The (N)earth quakes at His wrath,
And the nations cannot (O)endure His indignation.

11 [a]This is what you shall say to them: “The (P)gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will (Q)perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”

12 It is (R)He who made the earth by His power,
Who (S)established the world by His wisdom;
And by His understanding He has (T)stretched out the heavens.
13 When He utters His (U)voice, there is a roar of waters in the heavens,
And He makes the (V)clouds ascend from the end of the earth;
He makes lightning for the rain,
And brings out the (W)wind from His storehouses.

  1. Jeremiah 10:11 This verse is in Aram

No one is like you,(A) Lord;
    you are great,(B)
    and your name is mighty in power.
Who should not fear(C) you,
    King of the nations?(D)
    This is your due.
Among all the wise leaders of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms,
    there is no one like you.

They are all senseless(E) and foolish;(F)
    they are taught by worthless wooden idols.(G)
Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish(H)
    and gold from Uphaz.
What the craftsman and goldsmith have made(I)
    is then dressed in blue and purple—
    all made by skilled workers.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
    he is the living God,(J) the eternal King.(K)
When he is angry,(L) the earth trembles;(M)
    the nations cannot endure his wrath.(N)

11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish(O) from the earth and from under the heavens.’”[a]

12 But God made(P) the earth(Q) by his power;
    he founded the world by his wisdom(R)
    and stretched out the heavens(S) by his understanding.
13 When he thunders,(T) the waters in the heavens roar;
    he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning(U) with the rain(V)
    and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(W)
