12 It is (A)He who made the earth by His power,
Who (B)established the world by His wisdom;
And by His understanding He has (C)stretched out the heavens.
13 When He utters His (D)voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
And He causes the (E)clouds to ascend from the end of the earth;
He makes lightning for the rain,
And brings out the (F)wind from His storehouses.
14 Every man is (G)stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his [a]idols;
For his molten images are deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.
15 They are (H)worthless, a work of mockery;
In the (I)time of their punishment they will perish.
16 The (J)portion of Jacob is not like these;
For the [b](K)Maker of all is He,
And (L)Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
The (M)Lord of hosts is His name.
