Jeremiah 51:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:15

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the
world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his
understanding.
] The Targum prefaces the words thus,

``these things saith he who hath made the earth''

The verses ( Jeremiah 51:16-19 ) are the same with ( Jeremiah 10:12-16 ) . God is described by his sovereignty, power, and wisdom; and the stupidity of men that trust in idols, and the vanity of them, are exposed, to convince the Babylonians that the Lord, who had determined on their destruction, would surely effect it, and that it would not be in the power of their idols to prevent it. (See Gill on Jeremiah 10:12).

Jeremiah 51:15 In-Context

13 You live beside a great river, and you are rich in treasures. But your time has come; your cruelty has caught up with you.

14 The LORD of heavenly forces has sworn by his own name: I'm going to fill your cities with soldiers like a swarm of locusts; they will celebrate their victory over you.

15 God made the earth by his might, shaped the world by his wisdom, and crafted the skies by his knowledge.

16 At the sound of God's voice, the heavenly waters roar. God raises the clouds from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and sends the wind from his treasuries.

17 Everyone is too foolish to understand; every smith is shamed by his idols, for their images are shams; they aren't alive.
