“He made
The earth
By his power.
He established
The world
By his wisdom.
By his understanding,
He stretched out the heavens.
When he utters
His voice
There is a tumult of waters
In the heavens.
He makes the mist rise
From the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning
For the rain.
He brings forth
The wind
From his storehouses.”
This is exactly the same, word for word from chapter 10 about the power of Yahweh. Jeremiah proclaimed that Yahweh was all powerful. He made the earth by his power. Thus he established the world by his wisdom. He stretched out the heavens by his understanding, so that when he uttered his voice, the waters in the heaven could create a mist from the ends of the earth. He made lightning in the rain. He also brought wind from his various wind storehouses. Thus you can see this author’s cosmology about the powerful God, Yahweh, who has control of the world and its climate.
