Jeremiah 10:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 10:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 Idols are made by humans.
A carver shapes the wood.
A metalworker hammers out
a covering of gold from Uphaz
or of silver from Tarshish.
Then the idol is dressed
in blue and purple clothes.
10 You, Lord, are the only true
and living God.
You will rule for all time.
When you are angry
the earth shakes,
and nations are destroyed.
11 You told me to say
that idols did not create
the heavens and the earth,
and that you, the Lord,
will destroy every idol.
Jeremiah 10:9-11
New International Version
Jeremiah 10:9-11
New International Version
9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish(A)
and gold from Uphaz.
What the craftsman and goldsmith have made(B)
is then dressed in blue and purple—
all made by skilled workers.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
he is the living God,(C) the eternal King.(D)
When he is angry,(E) the earth trembles;(F)
the nations cannot endure his wrath.(G)
11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish(H) from the earth and from under the heavens.’”[a]
