Jeremías 10:13

13 Cuando él deja oír su voz,rugen las aguas en los cielos;hace que vengan las nubesdesde los confines de la tierra.Entre relámpagos hace llover,y saca de sus depósitos al viento.

Jeremías 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 10:13

When he uttereth his voice
Declares his will and pleasure, issues out his commands; or when he thunders, for thunder is his voice, ( Job 37:2-5 ) ( 40:9 ) : there is a multitude of waters in the heavens;
they are covered with clouds, and these clouds full of water; which is brought about by the following means: and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
from the north and south, as Kimchi observes from the philosophers; or from all parts of the earth, the most distant, and particularly from the sea, the border of the earth, from whence clouds arise, being exhaled by the sun; see ( 1 Kings 18:43 1 Kings 18:44 ) . He maketh lightnings with rain;
which very often go together, and the one makes way for the other, ( Job 28:26 ) , though they are so opposite one to another: and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures;
the caverns of the earth, or his fists, in which he holds it, ( Proverbs 30:4 ) and lets its loose at his pleasure; he has plenty of it in reserve; he is Lord over it; he sends it forth when he pleases, and it fulfils his will and his word.

Jeremías 10:13 In-Context

11 «Así les dirás: “Los dioses que no hicieron los cielos ni la tierra, desaparecerán de la tierra y de debajo del cielo”».

12 Dios hizo la tierra con su poder,afirmó el mundo con su sabiduría,¡extendió los cielos con su inteligencia!

13 Cuando él deja oír su voz,rugen las aguas en los cielos;hace que vengan las nubesdesde los confines de la tierra.Entre relámpagos hace llover,y saca de sus depósitos al viento.

14 La humanidad es necia e ignorante;todo orfebre se avergüenza de sus ídolos.Sus imágenes son un engaño,y no hay en ellas aliento de vida.

15 No valen nada, son obras ridículas;cuando llegue el día de su castigo, serán destruidas.
