Jeremiah 10:7-12

NSB(i) 7 Who would not respect you, O King of the nations? It is your right! There is none like you among all the wise men of the nations. 8 They are very stupid and foolish. They teach vanity to a tree. Their idol is wood! 9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. It is the work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith. Violet and purple are their clothing. They are all the work of skilled men. 10 Jehovah is the true (faithful) (right) God! He is the living God and the everlasting king. The earth quakes at his wrath. The nations cannot endure his indignation. 11 You will say to the idolaters: »The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.« 12 He who made the earth by his power, and established the world by his wisdom; also stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
