Jeremiah 10:8

Read in context

Jeremiah 10:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 There is none like You, O LORD. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power.

7 Who would not fear You, O King of nations? This is Your due. For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.

8 But they are altogether senseless and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz— the work of a craftsman from the hands of a goldsmith. Their clothes are blue and purple, all fashioned by skilled workers.

10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.
