Jeremiah 51:15-17
Easy-to-Read Version
15 God used his great power and made the earth.
He used his wisdom to build the world
and his understanding to stretch out the skies.
16 When he thunders, the waters in the skies roar.
He sends clouds all over the earth.
He sends lightning with the rain.
He brings out the wind from his storehouses.
17 But people are so stupid.
They don’t understand what God has done.
Skilled workers make statues of false gods.
Those statues are only false gods.
They show how foolish those workers are.
Those statues are not alive.
Jeremiah 51:15-17
New International Version
15 “He made the earth by his power;
he founded the world by his wisdom(A)
and stretched(B) out the heavens by his understanding.(C)
16 When he thunders,(D) the waters in the heavens roar;
he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning with the rain(E)
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(F)
17 “Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(G)
they have no breath in them.
