Jeremías 10:12

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

Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 10:12 In-Context

10 Pero el SEÑOR es el Dios verdadero,el Dios viviente, el Rey eterno.Cuando se enoja, tiembla la tierra;las naciones no pueden soportar su ira.
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.
