10 But the Lord is the only true God.
    He is the only living God, the King forever.
The earth ·shakes [trembles] when he is angry,
    and the nations cannot ·stand up to [endure] his anger.

11 “Tell them this message: ‘These gods did not make heaven and earth; they will ·be destroyed and disappear [perish] from heaven and earth [C this verse is in Aramaic, indicating it was a well known saying].’”

12 God made the earth by his power.
    He used his wisdom to ·build [L establish] the world
    and his understanding to stretch out the ·skies [heavens].
