Jeremiah 10:6-12
English Standard Version
6 (A)There is none like you, O Lord;
you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 (B)Who would not fear you, O King of the nations?
For this is your due;
for among all the wise ones of the nations
and in all their kingdoms
there is none like you.
8 (C)They are both (D)stupid and foolish;
the instruction of idols is but wood!
9 (E)Beaten silver is brought from (F)Tarshish,
and gold from (G)Uphaz.
(H)They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;
their clothing is violet and purple;
(I)they are all the work of skilled men.
10 (J)But the Lord is the true God;
(K)he is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
11 Thus shall you say to them: (L)“The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth (M)shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”[a]
12 (N)It is he who (O)made the earth by his power,
(P)who established the world by his wisdom,
and (Q)by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
