Jérémie 10:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 10:6

Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord
None like him, for the perfections of his nature, for the works of his hands, and for the instances of his kindness and beneficence, both in a way of grace and providence; there is none like him for doing good, or doing evil; that is, for bestowing favours, or inflicting punishments; there is none like him for goodness or greatness, as follows: thou art great;
in his nature; of great power, wisdom, faithfulness, truth, and goodness; and in his works of creation and providence, and in everything in which he is concerned; and greatness is to be ascribed to him, and greatly is he to be praised; and all the glory due unto his name is to be given him: and thy name is great in might;
his name is himself, and his greatness much appears in the exertion of the attribute of his power and might; in making all things out of nothing, in upholding the whole creation, and in the government of the universe; or the fame of him is great through the effects of his power, which are to be seen throughout the earth.

Jérémie 10:6 In-Context

4 On l'embellit avec de l'argent et de l'or; on le fixe avec des clous et des marteaux, pour qu'il ne vacille point.
5 Ils sont semblables, ces dieux, à une colonne faite au tour, et ils ne parlent pas. Il faut qu'on les porte, parce qu'ils ne peuvent marcher. Ne les craignez pas; car ils ne font point de mal; comme aussi faire du bien n'est pas en leur puissance.
6 Nul n'est semblable à toi, ô Éternel! Tu es grand, et tu as un grand renom de puissance.
7 Qui ne te craindrait, roi des nations? Car cela t'est dû. Car parmi les plus sages des nations et dans tous leurs royaumes, nul n'est semblable à toi.
8 Ils sont tous ensemble abrutis et insensés. Ce bois n'enseigne que vanités.
