1 Oigan la Palabra que Yavé les dice, oh Casa de Israel.
1 Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel!
2 Yavé dice: No aprendan el camino de las naciones, ni tengan temor a las señales del cielo, aunque las naciones las teman.
2 Yahweh says, “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
3 Porque las costumbres de los pueblos son vanidad. Cortan un árbol del bosque, la mano de un artífice lo labra con azuela,
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
4 lo adornan con plata y oro, y lo sujetan con clavos y martillo para que no se caiga.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it can’t move.
5 Son como un espantapájaros en un huerto de pepinos: no hablan. Son llevados porque no pueden andar. No tengan temor a ellos, porque ni pueden hacer mal. Ni para hacer bien tienen poder.
5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak. They must be carried, because they can’t move. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”
6 There is no one like you, Yahweh. You are great, and your name is great in might.
7◆ ¿Quién no te temerá, oh Rey de las naciones? Porque a Ti se debe temor, pues entre todos los sabios de las naciones y entre todos sus reinos no hay alguno comparable a Ti.
7 Who shouldn’t fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.
8 But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.
9◆ Traen plata batida de Tarsis y oro de Ufaz, obra de orífice y de la mano del fundidor. Su ropa es de tela azul y púrpura, obra de hábil artesano.
9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith. Their clothing is blue and purple. They are all the work of skillful men.
10◆ Pero Yavé es el ʼElohim verdadero. ¡Él es el ʼElohim viviente y el Rey eterno! Con su ira se estremece la tierra. Las naciones no pueden soportar su furor.
10 But Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.
11 Les dirán: Los ʼela que no hicieron el cielo ni la tierra desaparecerán de la tierra y de debajo del cielo.
11 “You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
12 [Él] es Quien hizo la tierra con su poder, Quien estableció el mundo con su sabiduría y extendió los cielos con su inteligencia.
12 God has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
13 Cuando Él emite su voz, hay una abundancia de agua en el cielo. Eleva la neblina desde lo último de la tierra. Hace los relámpagos para la lluvia y saca el viento de sus depósitos.
13 When he utters his voice, the waters in the heavens roar, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
14 Todo hombre es estúpido, sin conocimiento. Todo fundidor es avergonzado por una imagen, porque su imagen moldeada es falsedad. No hay aliento en ella.
14 Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Obras vanas y ridículas, que perecerán en el tiempo de su castigo.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.
16 La Porción de Jacob no es parecida a ellas, porque Él es el Hacedor de todo, e Israel es la tribu de su heredad. ¡Yavé de las huestes es su Nombre!
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. Yahweh of Armies is his name.
17 Recoge del suelo tu equipaje, tú que vives bajo asedio.
17 Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
18 Porque Yavé dice: Ciertamente esta vez lanzaré a los habitantes de la tierra con honda, y los afligiré para que lo sientan.
18 For Yahweh says, “Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
19 ¡Ay de mí, a causa de mi quebrantamiento! Mi herida es incurable. Pero dije: Ciertamente ésta es mi aflicción y debo soportarla.
19 Woe is me because of my injury! My wound is serious; but I said, “Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
20 Mi tienda fue destruida y todas mis cuerdas están rotas. Se fueron mis hijos y ya no están. Ya no hay quien levante mi tienda, ni quien extienda mis cortinas.
20 My tent has been destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My children have gone away from me, and they are no more. There is no one to spread my tent any more, to set up my curtains.
21 Porque los pastores se embrutecieron y no buscaron a Yavé. Por eso no prosperaron y todo su rebaño se dispersó.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of Yahweh. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks have scattered.
22 ¡Oigan un rumor! ¡Viene un gran tumulto de la tierra del norte para convertir las ciudades de Judá en desolación y en guarida de chacales!
22 The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
23 Oh Yavé, reconozco que el camino del hombre no está en él mismo, ni al hombre que camina corresponde dirigir sus propios pasos.
23 Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 Corrígeme, oh Yavé, pero con justicia, no con tu furor, pues me reducirás a nada.
24 Yahweh, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.
25 Derrama tu furor sobre los pueblos que no te conocen, sobre las naciones que no invocan tu Nombre, porque devoraron a Jacob. Lo devoraron, lo consumieron y desolaron su morada.
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, and on the families that don’t call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob. Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Jeremiah: a shorter book in a different order
The Greek Septuagint of Jeremiah is markedly shorter than the Hebrew text and arranges the book differently: the oracles against the nations come in the middle, after 25:13, not at the end. Hebrew fragments from Qumran show that a shorter Hebrew form of Jeremiah really existed. Many scholars think Jeremiah circulated in two editions.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Jeremiah also says the same: "The gods that have not made the heavens and earth, let them perish from the earth which is under the heaven." For, from the fact of his having subjoined their destruction, he shows them to be no gods at all.
This shall ye say to them, "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from those that are under the heavens." He is not such a god: for our God is above all gods.

He said, "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, let them perish from the earth, and from under the heaven." He said not, The gods that have not made the heavens and earth, let them perish from the heaven and from the earth; because they never were in heaven: but what did he say?
