Jeremiah 10:6-10

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Lord, there is no one like you.
    You are great.
    Your name is great and powerful.
⁷ Everyone should respect you, King of all nations.
    You deserve their respect.
There are many wise men among the nations.
    And there are wise men in all the kingdoms.
    But none of them are as wise as you.
⁸ Those wise men are stupid and foolish.
    Their teachings come from worthless wooden idols.
⁹ They use silver from Tarshish
    and gold from Uphaz.
Their idols are made by craftsmen and goldsmiths.
    They put blue and purple clothes on the idols.
    All these things are made by skilled workers.
¹⁰ But the Lord is the only true God.
    He is the only living God, King forever.
The earth shakes when he is angry.
    The nations cannot stand up to his anger.
