Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 10:12

"He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens:" — Jeremiah 10:12 (ASV)

He has made ... he has 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.
