JER 10:1–10:16 ©

The Sovereignty of God

The Sovereignty of God

10Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.

2This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens though the nations [themselves] are terrified by them.

3For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman.

4They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter.

5Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they can do no harm, and neither can they do any good.”

6There is none like You, O LORD. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power.

7Who would not fear You, O King of nations? This is Your due For among all the wise [men] of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.

8But they are altogether senseless and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

9Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz—the work of a craftsman from the hands of a goldsmith. Their clothes are blue and purple, all fashioned by skilled workers.

10But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.

11Thus you are to tell them: “[These] gods, who have made neither the heavens [nor] the earth, will perish from this earth and from under these heavens.”[fn]

12[The LORD] made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

13When He thunders the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

14Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and [there is] no breath in them.

15They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.

16The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and Israel [is] the tribe of His inheritance—the LORD of Hosts is His name.
