Thomas Aquinas Commentary Jeremiah 10:6-8

"There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee. But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock." — Jeremiah 10:6-8 (ASV)

Here, he shows the majesty of God’s dominion:

1. He shows each aspect of this power: great in Himself, and great is Your name in the estimation of others. From this, he infers fear: Who will not fear You? As mentioned above: will you not fear Me, says the LORD, and will you not be dismayed before My face? (Jeremiah 5:22).

2. He shows His unique wisdom. This is shown first by excluding any equal in wisdom, for Yours is the honor, as it is written: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, honor, and power, and might be to our God for ages of ages. Amen (Revelation 7:12). Second, it is shown by revealing their foolishness in comparison with divine wisdom: and amidst all their kingdoms, there is none like You.

   They are stupid in divine matters and foolish in human affairs. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (1 Corinthians 3:19).
