Jeremiah 51:15-19
15It is 1He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom, And by His understanding He 2stretched out the heavens.16When He utters His 3voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, And He causes the 4clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain And brings forth the 5wind from His storehouses.176All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his 7idols, For his molten images are 8deceitful, And there is no breath in them.18They are 9worthless, a work of mockery; In the time of their punishment they will perish.19The 10portion of Jacob is not like these; For the 11Maker of all is He, And of the 12tribe of His inheritance; The 13Lord of hosts is His name.
