Jeremiah 10:11

[Here the language shifts to Aramaic.] Thus shall you say to them:
Gods [these idols]
which the heavens
and the earth
have not made (Aramaic la´avadu), [shall]
be destroyed (Aramaic je´vadul)
from the earth
and from under the heavens
these. [It is the only Aramaic verse in the entire book of Jeremiah, which makes it stand out (Aramaic text appears in only 269 verses in the Old Testament, see Ezra 4:8–6:18; 7:12–26; Dan. 2:4–7:28). This verse is the central and climactic point in the contrast between the Lord and idols in verses 2–16. God is the living God (verse 10) who created the earth and the heavens (verse 12), not idols. After the three introductory Aramaic words, "Thus shall you say to them," there follow ten words structured in a chiasm. Central to this is an Aramaic play on words with the verbs "made" and "destroyed," which are similar in Aramaic. This reinforces how these idols, which have done nothing, will completely disappear. The destruction on earth is described from God's perspective – I will destroy from under the heavens, see also Ex. 17:14; Deut. 9:14.]
