Jeremias 10:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 10:12

He hath made the earth by his power
The Targum considers these words as a continuation of the answer of the Jews to the Chaldeans, paraphrasing them thus,

``and so shall ye say unto them, `we worship him who hath made the earth by his power':''
who stands opposed to the gods that made not the heavens and the earth, that had no title to deity, nor right to worship; but the true God has both; and his making the earth out of nothing, and hanging it upon nothing, and preserving it firm and stable, are proofs of his almighty power, and so of his deity; and consequently that he ought to be worshipped, and he only. He hath established the world by his wisdom;
upon the rivers and floods; or he hath poised it in the air; or he hath disposed it in an orderly, regular, and beautiful manner, as the word F21 used signifies; by making it terraqueous, partly land, and partly water; by opening in it fountains and rivers; by diversifying it with hills and vales, with wood and arable land; all which show the wisdom as well as the power of God. And hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion;
as a canopy over the earth, as a tent to dwell in; and which is beautifully bespangled with the luminaries in it; hence it has the name of expanse, or the firmament of heaven.

Jeremias 10:12 In-Context

10 Mas o Senhor é o verdadeiro Deus; ele é o Deus vivo e o Rei eterno, ao seu furor estremece a terra, e as nações não podem suportar a sua indignação.
11 Assim lhes direis: Os deuses que não fizeram os céus e a terra, esses perecerão da terra e de debaixo dos céus.
12 Ele fez a terra pelo seu poder; ele estabeleceu o mundo por sua sabedoria e com a sua inteligência estendeu os céus.
13 Quando ele faz soar a sua voz, logo há tumulto de águas nos céus, e ele faz subir das extremidades da terra os vapores; faz os relâmpagos para a chuva, e dos seus tesouros faz sair o vento.
14 Todo homem se embruteceu e não tem conhecimento; da sua imagem esculpida envergonha-se todo fundidor; pois as suas imagens fundidas são falsas, e nelas não há fôlego.
