Jeremiah 10:6-10
World English Bible
6 There is no one like you, Yahweh.
You are great,
and your name is great in might.
7 Who shouldn’t fear you,
King of the nations?
For it belongs to you.
Because among all the wise men of the nations,
and in all their royal estate,
there is no one like you.
8 But they are together brutish and foolish,
instructed by idols!
It is just wood.
9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish,
and gold from Uphaz,
the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith.
Their clothing is blue and purple.
They are all the work of skillful men.
10 But Yahweh is the true God.
He is the living God,
and an everlasting King.
At his wrath, the earth trembles.
The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.
Jeremiah 10:6-10
New King James Version
6 Inasmuch as there is none (A)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 rightful due.
For (C)among all the wise men of the nations,
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.
8 But they are altogether (D)dull-hearted and foolish;
A wooden idol is a [a]worthless doctrine.
9 Silver is beaten into plates;
It is brought from Tarshish,
And (E)gold from Uphaz,
The work of the craftsman
And of the hands of the metalsmith;
Blue and purple are their clothing;
They are all (F)the work of skillful men.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
He is (G)the living God and the (H)everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.
