Jeremiah 10:12-16

12It is 1He who made the earth by His power, Who 2established the world by His wisdom; And by His understanding He has 3stretched out the heavens.13When He utters His 4voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, And He causes the 5clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain, And brings out the 6wind from His storehouses.14Every man is 7stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his 8idols; For his molten images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them.15They are 9worthless, a work of mockery; In the 10time of their punishment they will perish.16The 11portion of Jacob is not like these; For the 12 13Maker of all is He, And 14Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; The 15Lord of hosts is His name.
