Praise to the God of Jacob

15 He made the earth by his power.
    He established the world by his wisdom,
        and by his understanding he spread out the heavens.
16 When his voice sounds, there is thunder from
    the waters of heaven,
and he makes clouds rise up
    from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
    and brings wind out of his storehouses.
17 Everyone is stupid[a] and without knowledge.
    Every goldsmith is put to shame by his own idols,
for his images are false,[b]
    and there is no life in them.
