Verse in context — Jeremiah 10
He 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:

The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Armies is his name.
