Jeremiah 51:15-19

15It is 1He who madeH6213 the earthH776 by His powerH3581, Who establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by His wisdomH2451, And by His understandingH8394 He 2stretchedH5186 out the heavensH8064.16When He uttersH5414 His 3voiceH6963, there is a tumultH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, And He causes the 4cloudsH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endH7097 of the earthH776; He makesH6213 lightningH1300 for the rainH4306 And bringsH3318 forthH3318 the 5windH7307 from His storehousesH214.176AllH3605 mankindH120 is stupidH1197, devoidH4480 of knowledgeH1847; EveryH3605 goldsmithH6884 is putH954 to shameH954 by his 7idolsH6459, For his moltenH5262 imagesH5262 are 8deceitfulH8267, And there is noH3808 breathH7307 in them.18They are 9worthlessH1892, a workH4639 of mockeryH8595; In the timeH6256 of their punishmentH6486 they will perishH6.19The 10portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like theseH428; For the 11MakerH3335 of allH3605 is He, And of the 12tribeH7626 of His inheritanceH5159; The 13LordH3068 of hostsH6635 is His nameH8034.
