耶利米书 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 华 是 真   神 , 是 活   神 , 是 永 远 的 王 。 他 一 发 怒 , 大 地 震 动 ; 他 一 恼 恨 , 列 国 都 担 当 不 起 。
11 你 们 要 对 他 们 如 此 说 : 不 是 那 创 造 天 地 的 神 , 必 从 地 上 从 天 下 被 除 灭 ! )

13 他 一 发 声 , 空 中 便 有 多 水 激 动 ; 他 使 云 雾 从 地 极 上 腾 ; 他 造 电 随 雨 而 闪 , 从 他 府 库 中 带 出 风 来 。
14 各 人 都 成 了 畜 类 , 毫 无 知 识 ; 各 银 匠 都 因 他 雕 刻 的 偶 像 羞 愧 。 他 所 铸 的 偶 像 本 是 虚 假 的 , 其 中 并 无 气 息 ,
