Jeremiah 10:12-14

The Voice

¹² Know whom you’re dealing with!
    God alone is powerful enough to create the earth.
He alone is wise enough to put the world together.
    He alone understands enough to stretch out the heavens.
¹³ His voice thunders through the heavens, and the waters gush from the sky;
    He summons the clouds to build up over the earth.
As the rain falls, the lightning flashes at His command;
    the wind rushes in from where He alone can store it.
¹⁴ All of humanity is stupid and bankrupt of knowledge.
    Those who make idols are shamed by their creations.
What they fashion out of gold are imposters—
    breathless, lifeless frauds.
