And the worshipers of idols were at last to learn the lesson that false gods are powerless to uplift and save. "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens." Verse 11. Only in allegiance to the living God, the Creator of all and the Ruler over all, can man find rest and peace.

Afgudsdyrkerne skulle til sidst lære, at de falske guder hverken kan hjælpe eller frelse. "Guder, der ikke har skabt Himmel og jord, skal forsvinde fra jorden og under himmelen." Jer 10,11. Mennesket kan kun finde fred og hvile, når det er tro imod den levende Gud, skaber og konge.
