耶利米書 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.

10 惟 耶 和 華 是 真   神 , 是 活   神 , 是 永 遠 的 王 。 他 一 發 怒 , 大 地 震 動 ; 他 一 惱 恨 , 列 國 都 擔 當 不 起 。
11 你 們 要 對 他 們 如 此 說 : 不 是 那 創 造 天 地 的 神 , 必 從 地 上 從 天 下 被 除 滅 ! )
12 耶 和 華 用 能 力 創 造 大 地 , 用 智 慧 建 立 世 界 , 用 聰 明 鋪 張 穹 蒼 。
13 他 一 發 聲 , 空 中 便 有 多 水 激 動 ; 他 使 雲 霧 從 地 極 上 騰 ; 他 造 電 隨 雨 而 閃 , 從 他 府 庫 中 帶 出 風 來 。
14 各 人 都 成 了 畜 類 , 毫 無 知 識 ; 各 銀 匠 都 因 他 雕 刻 的 偶 像 羞 愧 。 他 所 鑄 的 偶 像 本 是 虛 假 的 , 其 中 並 無 氣 息 ,
