Verse 10

Jer 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 אלהים חיים , "living Gods," that is, living divine Ones, or Persons, are in the plural number, yet הוא , "he," is in the singular; which is worthy of observation. Hebrew Text Note

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.
