Jeremías 10:13

13 a su voz se da muchedumbre de aguas en el cielo, y hace subir las nubes de lo postrero de la tierra; hace los relámpagos con la lluvia, y hace salir el viento de sus escondederos.

Jeremías 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 10:13

When he uttereth his voice
Declares his will and pleasure, issues out his commands; or when he thunders, for thunder is his voice, ( Job 37:2-5 ) ( 40:9 ) : there is a multitude of waters in the heavens;
they are covered with clouds, and these clouds full of water; which is brought about by the following means: and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
from the north and south, as Kimchi observes from the philosophers; or from all parts of the earth, the most distant, and particularly from the sea, the border of the earth, from whence clouds arise, being exhaled by the sun; see ( 1 Kings 18:43 1 Kings 18:44 ) . He maketh lightnings with rain;
which very often go together, and the one makes way for the other, ( Job 28:26 ) , though they are so opposite one to another: and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures;
the caverns of the earth, or his fists, in which he holds it, ( Proverbs 30:4 ) and lets its loose at his pleasure; he has plenty of it in reserve; he is Lord over it; he sends it forth when he pleases, and it fulfils his will and his word.

Jeremías 10:13 In-Context

11 Les diréis así: dioses que no hicieron los cielos ni la tierra, perezcan de la tierra y de debajo de estos cielos.

12 El que hace la tierra con su potencia, el que pone en orden el mundo con su saber, y extiende los cielos con su prudencia;

13 a su voz se da muchedumbre de aguas en el cielo, y hace subir las nubes de lo postrero de la tierra; hace los relámpagos con la lluvia, y hace salir el viento de sus escondederos.

14 Todo hombre es carnal en su ciencia. Avergüéncese de su vaciadizo todo fundidor, porque mentira es su obra de fundición, ni hay espíritu en ellos;

15 vanidad son, obra de escarnios; en el tiempo de su visitación perecerán.
