Jeremiah 10:8 in Context — Jeremiah 10

6 Nul n’est semblable à toi, ô Éternel! Tu es grand, et ton nom est grand par ta puissance.

7 Qui ne te craindrait, roi des nations? C’est à toi que la crainte est due; Car, parmi tous les sages des nations et dans tous leurs royaumes, Nul n’est semblable à toi.

8 Tous ensemble, ils sont stupides et insensés; Leur science n’est que vanité, c’est du bois!

9 On apporte de Tarsis des lames d’argent, et d’Uphaz de l’or, L’ouvrier et la main de l’orfèvre les mettent en œuvre; Les vêtements de ces dieux sont d’étoffes teintes en bleu et en pourpre, Tous sont l’ouvrage d’habiles artisans.

10 Mais l’Éternel est Dieu en vérité, Il est un Dieu vivant et un roi éternel; La terre tremble devant sa colère, Et les nations ne supportent pas sa fureur.
