Jeremiah 10:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
9 They bring thin silver from Spain.
They bring gold from Uphaz.
Workers who know how to use wood and metal
make the idols look beautiful.
They put valuable blue and purple clothes on the idols.
Workers who have special skills do this.
10 But the Lord is the only true God.
He is the God who is alive.
He is the King who rules for ever.
When he is angry, the earth shakes.
None of the nations can stop his anger.
11 Tell the nations this:
‘Your gods did not make the earth or the sky.
They will disappear completely from everywhere on earth
and everywhere in the sky.’
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]
