Jeremiah 10:6-10
New American Standard Bible
6 (A)There is none like You, Lord;
You are (B)great, and Your name is great in might.
7 (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.
8 But they are altogether (F)stupid and foolish;
The instruction from idols is nothing but wood!
9 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.
Jeremiah 10:6-10
American Standard Version
6 There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. 7 Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for [a]to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee. 8 But they are [b]together brutish and foolish: [c]the instruction of idols! it is but a stock. 9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men. 10 But Jehovah is [d]the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.
