Wisdom and power are the ground of the respect we give to men; they being both infinite in God, are the foundation of a solemn honor to be returned to Him by His creatures. If a man make a curious engine, we honor him for his skill; if another vanquish a vigorous enemy, we admire him for his strength; and shall not the efficacy of God's power in creation, government, redemption, inflame us with a sense of the honor of His name and perfections! We admire those princes that have vast empires, numerous armies, that have a power to conquer their enemies, and preserve their own people in peace; how much more ground have we to pay a mighty reverence to God, who, without trouble and weariness, made and manages this vast empire of the world by a word and beck! What sensible thoughts have we of the noise of thunder, the power of the sun, the storms of the sea! These things, that have no understanding, have struck men with such a reverence that many have adored them as gods. What reverence and adoration does this mighty power, joined with an infinite wisdom in God, demand at our hands.

45:1 La palabra que habló el profeta Jeremías a Baruc hijo de Nerías, cuando escribía en un libro estas palabras, al dictado de Jeremías, en el cuarto año de Joacim hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, diciendo:

45:2 “Así ha dicho Jehovah Dios de Israel, acerca de ti, oh Baruc:

45:3 Tú dijiste: ‘¡Ay de mí! Porque Jehovah ha añadido tristeza a mi dolor. Estoy exhausto de gemir y no he hallado descanso.’

45:4 Le has de decir que así ha dicho Jehovah: ‘He aquí que yo destruyo lo que edifiqué, y arranco lo que planté, es decir, toda esta tierra.

45:5 ¿Y tú buscas para ti grandezas? No las busques, porque he aquí que yo traigo mal sobre todo mortal, dice Jehovah, pero a ti te daré tu vida por botín, en todos los lugares a donde vayas.'”
