Jeremiah 10:12-16

English Standard Version

^12 (A)It is he who ^(B)made the earth by his power,
    ^(C)who established the world by his wisdom,
    and ^(D)by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
^13 (E)When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
    ^(F)and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
^(G)He makes lightning ^(H)for the rain,
    ^(I)and he brings forth the wind ^(J)from his storehouses.
^14 (K)Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
    ^(L)every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
    ^(M)and there is no breath in them.
¹⁵ They are worthless, a work of delusion;
    at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
¹⁶ Not like these is he who is ^(N)the portion of Jacob,
    for he is the one who formed all things,
^(O)and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
    ^(P)the Lord of hosts is his name.
