Jeremiah 10:9–11

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish

and gold from Uphaz.

What the craftsman and goldsmith have made

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, the eternal King.

When he is angry, the earth trembles;

the nations cannot endure his wrath.

11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.’ ”

9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,

and gold from Uphaz.

They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;

their clothing is violet and purple;

they are all the work of skilled men.

10 But the Lord is the true God;

he is the living God and the everlasting King.

At his wrath the earth quakes,

and the nations cannot endure his indignation.

11 Thus shall you say to them: “The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”

9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish,

And gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder:

Blue and purple is their clothing:

They are all the work of cunning men.

10 But the Lord is the true God,

He is the living God, and an everlasting king:

At his wrath the earth shall tremble,

And the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

9 They bring beaten sheets of silver from Tarshish

and gold from Uphaz,

and they give these materials to skillful craftsmen

who make their idols.

Then they dress these gods in royal blue and purple robes

made by expert tailors.

10 But the Lord is the only true God.

He is the living God and the everlasting King!

The whole earth trembles at his anger.

The nations cannot stand up to his wrath.

11 Say this to those who worship other gods: “Your so-called gods, who did not make the heavens and earth, will vanish from the earth and from under the heavens.”

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish

and gold from Uphaz,

so the idols are made by craftsmen and goldsmiths.

They put blue and purple clothes on the idols.

All these things are made by skilled workers.

10 But the Lord is the only true God.

He is the only living God, the King forever.

The earth shakes when he is angry,

and the nations cannot stand up to his anger.

11 “Tell them this message: ‘These gods did not make heaven and earth; they will be destroyed and disappear from heaven and earth.’ ”

9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men. 10 But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.

11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artizan and of the hands of the founder; blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of skilful men. 10 But Jehovah Elohim is truth; he is the living God, and the King of eternity. At his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations cannot abide his indignation. 11 Thus shall ye say unto them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz. 

Craftsmen and goldsmiths shape these metals. 

The clothing for the idols is blue and purple, 

all made by skilled workers. 

10 But the Lord is the only God. 

He is the living God and eternal king. 

The earth trembles when he is angry. 

The nations can’t endure his fury. 

11 Tell them this: These gods will disappear from the earth 

and from under heaven because they didn’t make heaven and earth. 

9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,

and gold from Uphaz

from the hands of a goldsmith,

the work of a craftsman.

Their clothing is blue and purple,

all the work of skilled artisans.

10 But Yahweh is the true God;

He is the living God and eternal King.

The earth quakes at His wrath,

and the nations cannot endure His rage.

11 You are to say this to them, “The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”

9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish

and gold from Uphaz.

10 But Yahweh is the true God,

he is the living God,

and an everlasting king.

Because of his wrath the earth quakes,

and the nations cannot endure his anger.

11 “Thus you shall say to them,

‘Gods who did not make the heavens and the earth

will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.

9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish.

Then they put blue and purple clothes on it.

The whole thing is made by skilled workers.

10 But you are the only true God.

You are the only living God.

You are the King who rules forever.

When you are angry, the earth trembles with fear.

The nations can’t stand up under your anger.

11 The Lord says to the Jews who are living in Babylonia, “Tell the people of the nations, ‘Your gods did not make the heavens and the earth. In fact, those gods will disappear from the earth. They will vanish from under the heavens.’ ”

9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,

And gold from Uphaz,

The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith;

10 But the Lord is the true God;

He is the living God and the everlasting King.

At His wrath the earth quakes,

And the nations cannot endure His indignation.

11 Thus you shall say to them, “The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”
