In my opinion, the expanded or amplified description of Himself that God gave in the verse cited in the question was for emphatic purposes, in order to make clear to Jeremiah (even in the midst of the adverse circumstances that Jeremiah was in when God spoke to him) the absolute power and ability of God to do as He chose, and to accomplish or bring to completion any purpose that He sought to achieve -- a power that was also greater than any opposition or hardship to which Jeremiah, or the people of Jerusalem or Judah, might be subjected by their enemies.
