Jer 10:6-16 | ESV | STEP | There is none like you, O Lord ; you are great , and your name is great in might .

Jeremiah 10:6-16

6 ^aThere is none like you, O Lord;
you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 ^bWho would not fear you, O King of the nations?
For this is your due;
for among all the wise ones of the nations
and in all their kingdoms
there is none like you.
8 ^cThey are both ^dstupid and foolish;
the instruction of idols is but wood!
9 ^eBeaten silver is brought from ^fTarshish,
and gold from ^gUphaz.
^hThey are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;
their clothing is violet and purple;
ⁱthey are all the work of skilled men.
10 ^jBut the Lord is the true God;
^khe is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
11 Thus shall you say to them: ^l“The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth ^mshall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.” ^{▼▼This verse is in Aramaic}

12 ^oIt is he who ^pmade the earth by his power,
^qwho established the world by his wisdom,
and ^rby his understanding stretched out the heavens.
13 ^sWhen he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
^tand he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
^uHe makes lightning ^vfor the rain,
^wand he brings forth the wind ^xfrom his storehouses.
14 ^yEvery man is stupid and without knowledge;
^zevery goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
^aaand there is no breath in them.
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 Not like these is he who is ^abthe portion of Jacob,
for he is the one who formed all things,
^acand Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
^adthe Lord of hosts is his name.
