Jeremiah 10:12 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

He hath made... he hath established. — The words are participial in form, making... establishing, and complete the list of divine attributes in Jeremiah 10:10, contrasting the creative might of Jehovah with the impotence of the gods of the heathen.

The world. — As contrasted with the material earth, the inhabited world, the world considered in its relation to man, as in Proverbs 8:31.

Discretion. — Better, skill.

Jeremiah 10:12

12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
