Psalm 135:7BSB

He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

Significance

Jeremiah 10:13 and Psalm 135:7 share virtually identical Hebrew wording describing God's sovereignty over weather: "He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses" (מוֹצִיא רוּחַ מֵאֹצְרֹתָיו, motsi ruach me'otserotav). This near-verbatim correspondence constitutes a direct quotation, likely both drawing from a common liturgical tradition celebrating Yahweh as Creator. In Jeremiah's context, this creation hymn functions polemically — contrasted with the impotent idols described in vv. 3-5 and 14-15, Yahweh's command of storms, lightning, and wind demonstrates the living God's absolute superiority over lifeless images. The psalm similarly sets God's weather-making power within a broader recital of His mighty acts in creation and history.

Connection Method(s): Longitudinal Theme — the near-verbatim shared doxology of the God who raises clouds, lightning, and wind from His storehouses belongs to the canon-wide theme of the living Creator's sovereignty over the storm; Psalm 135 sings it as praise, and Jeremiah 10 redeploys the same confession polemically against lifeless idols (vv. 3-5, 14-15), developing the one theme rather than progressing an epoch or typing a person.
