Jeremiah 51:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 He made the earth by his power,
established the world by wisdom,
and by his skill stretched out the heavens.(A)
16 When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar,
he summons clouds from the ends of the earth,
Makes lightning flash in the rain,
and brings out winds from their storehouses.
17 Every man is stupid, ignorant;
every artisan is put to shame by his idol:
He molds a fraud,
without life-breath.
