Jeremiah 10:12

Verse 12

MANIFESTATIONS OF JEHOVAH’S ALMIGHTINESS, Jeremiah 10:12-16.

12. Power… wisdom… discretion This enumeration of the natural attributes of God as exhibited in the material creation is interesting. They are graded one above the other in true logical order. As through a window we look through this verse, and see how the revelations of God in his word and in his works are one; or if, in any sense, they are two, they are still harmonious. First, “power,” and its product is the dead earth; then “wisdom,” and its product is the organized world; finally, “discretion,” or constructive skill, and its product is the universe, with all its adjustments and the mutual adaptations of its various parts.
