18 The Lord created the heavens.
God formed the earth and made it.
He set it up.
He did not create it to be empty
but formed it to be inhabited.

I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 I haven’t spoken privately or in some dark corner of the world.
I didn’t say to Jacob’s descendants,

Ignorant people carry wooden idols
and pray to gods that cannot save ⌞anyone⌟.
