Jeremiah 51:15-19

15The Lord made the earth by his power, and he preserves it by his wisdom. With his own understanding he stretched out the heavens.

16When he speaks in the thunder, the heavens roar with rain. He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses.

17The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge! The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make, for their carefully shaped works are a fraud. These idols have no breath or power.

18Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies! On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.

19But the God of Israel is no idol! He is the Creator of everything that exists, including his people, his own special possession. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
