Jeremiah 10 — Context

8

But they are together brutish and foolish: 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 skillful men.

10

But Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation.

11

You shall say this to them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

12

He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:

13

when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.

14

Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
