Jeremiah 51:15-19

151The Lord used his power to make the earth. He used his wisdom to make it strong. He knew how to put the sky to cover the earth.

16When he shouts like thunder, the water in the sky roars. He brings the clouds from the far places of the earth. He causes bright lightning to show in the storms. He opens his rooms so that the wind comes out and it blows everywhere.

17People who worship idols are stupid. They do not understand what they are doing. The men who make idols will be ashamed. They make images of gods that are false. None of their idols have the breath of life in them.

18They are useless things that people should laugh at. When the time for their punishment arrives, God will destroy them.

19The God that Jacob's descendants worship is not like those idols. He created everything. He chose Israel's people to belong to him. His name is the Lord Almighty.
