Context — The Sovereignty of God
8But they are altogether senseless and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!
9Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz— the work of a craftsman from the hands of a goldsmith. Their clothes are blue and purple, all fashioned by skilled workers.
10But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.
11Thus you are to tell them: “These gods, who have made neither the heavens nor the earth, will perish from this earth and from under these heavens.” 12The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.Cross References

Jeremiah 10:10 Summary
[Jeremiah 10:10 tells us that the LORD is the true God, who is living and eternal, unlike the idols that people made and worshiped. This means God is always present and active, as seen in Psalm 139:7-10, and has the power to cause the earth to shake with His wrath. Because He is the eternal King, God's reign and authority will never end, a truth also celebrated in 1 Timothy 1:17. This verse invites us to reflect on the difference between the living God and lifeless idols, and to consider how we can honor and reverence God's majesty and power in our lives.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that the LORD is the 'living God' in Jeremiah 10:10?
This phrase emphasizes God's active and dynamic nature, contrasting with the lifeless idols mentioned in Jeremiah 10:8, and is reminiscent of God's introduction of Himself as the 'living God' in Joshua 3:10 and other passages like Psalm 42:2.
How does the earth 'quake at His wrath' as stated in Jeremiah 10:10?
This expression signifies the immense power and authority of God, similar to the depiction of God's power in Psalm 104:32 and Isaiah 2:19, where natural phenomena are used to illustrate the awe-inspiring nature of God's wrath and judgment.
What is the significance of God being described as an 'eternal King' in this verse?
The description of God as an 'eternal King' underscores His timeless and unchanging sovereignty, a theme also found in Daniel 4:3 and Psalm 145:13, emphasizing God's reign over all creation for all eternity.
How does Jeremiah 10:10 relate to our understanding of God's character?
This verse highlights the majesty, power, and eternal nature of God, serving as a reminder of His holiness and our need to reverence Him, as also seen in Isaiah 6:1-5 and Revelation 4:8-11, where God's glory and majesty are prominently displayed.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean for my life that the LORD is the true and living God, and how should this truth shape my daily decisions and worship?
- In what ways can I practically acknowledge and reverence God's eternal kingship in my personal and communal expressions of faith?
- How does the contrast between the lifeless idols of Jeremiah 10:8-9 and the living God of Jeremiah 10:10 challenge my own heart and priorities?
- What are some ways in which the earth and nations have historically 'quaked at His wrath,' and what lessons can be drawn from these examples for our contemporary context?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 10:10
But the Lord is the true God,.... In opposition to all nominal and fictitious deities, which are not by nature God, only by name, and in the foolish imagination of the people: or, "the Lord God is
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 10:10
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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 10:10
The Lord is the true God: q. d. All these are but false gods: Jehovah is the alone true God; they are but lies, and the teachers of lies. God is truth itself, and that both in regard of his essence, as it is ascribed to Christ, ; and also in regard of his faithfulness, . He is the living God; these are all but dead stocks and stones, Jehovah is the only living God, having life in himself, and giving life to all things else, ,26. Hence these idols are not only more base than any other creature, but even viler than the matter itself of which they are made. An everlasting King: these, though accounted kings, and countenanced by kings, yet both they and their kings do all perish; time devours them all with worm or rust, or by injuries and violence offered to them, as in the next verse; but none of these or any thing else can affect the true God, he is everlasting. At his wrath the earth shall tremble; he can with his look or frown make the foundations of the heaven and the earth to shake, whereas these stocks can move them no more than they can themselves, which is not one hair’ s breadth from their stations. The nations shall not be able to abide his indignation; not able either to stop it or bear it, but must stoop and fall under it, ; the wicked will not be able to stand in judgment, .
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 10:10
Jeremiah 10:10 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.Ver. 10. But the Lord is the true God.] Heb., Jehovah is God in truth, not in conceit only, or counterfeit. He is the living God, and an everlasting king.] See on Jeremiah 10:6. The words are in the plural number, "he is the living Gods"; not for the sake of honour and glory, as Kimchi observes; but as denoting a trinity of Persons in the unity of the divine essence: for though the words ΰμδινηιιν, "living Gods," that is, living divine Ones, or Persons, are in the plural number, yet δεΰ, "he," is in the singular; which is worthy of observation. At his wrath the earth shall tremble.] The earth, that greatest of all lifeless creatures. And the nations shall not be able.] Less able to stand before him than a glass bottle before a cannon shot.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 10:10
(10) The Lord is the true God.—Literally, Jehovah is the God that is Truth. The thought expressed is that for which St. John, as indeed the LXX. does here, uses the word alçthinos (John 17:3; 1 John 5:20), Truth in its highest and most perfect form. So “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). An everlasting king.—Here, as in other like passages, the English Version is not wrong, but the Hebrew idiom “King of Eternity” is far grander.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 10:10
Verse 10. But the Lord] The original word should be preserved, however we agree to pronounce it: יהוה Yehovah is the true God. He is without beginning, and without end. This is true of no being else. He is the living God] His being is underived; and he gives life to all. He is the very Fountain whence all life is derived. And an everlasting king] As he has made, so he governs, all things. His sway is felt both in the heavens and in the earth. At his wrath the earth shall tremble] All storms, tempests, tornadoes, and earthquakes are the effects of his power; and when the nations are destroyed, or turned upside down, it is the effect of his displeasure.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 10:10
10. LXX omit, but there is more to be said for MT. here than in the cases above. As Jeremiah 10:11 is clearly a gloss, Jeremiah 10:12 would be very abrupt without an introduction of this kind. the true God] better (as mg.) God in truth.
