Jeremia 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.

Jeremia 10:6 In-Context

4 Men pronkt het op met zilver en met goud; zij hechten ze met nagelen en met hameren, opdat het niet waggele.
5 Zij zijn gelijk een palmboom van dicht werk, maar kunnen niet spreken; zij moeten gedragen worden, want zij kunnen niet gaan; vreest niet voor hen, want zij kunnen geen kwaad doen, ook is er geen goeddoen bij hen.
6 Omdat niemand U gelijk is, o HEERE! zo zijt Gij groot, en groot is Uw Naam in mogendheid.
7 Wie zou U niet vrezen, Gij Koning der heidenen? Want het komt U toe; omdat toch onder alle wijzen der heidenen, en in hun ganse koninkrijk, niemand U gelijk is.
8 In een ding zijn zij toch onvernuftig en zot: een hout is een onderwijs der ijdelheden.
