¹² God is the one who used his power and made the earth.
    He used his wisdom and built the world.
    With his understanding he stretched the sky over the earth.
¹³ God causes the loud thunder,
    and he causes great floods of water to fall from the sky.
He makes clouds rise in the sky every place on earth.
    He sends lightning with the rain.
    He brings out the wind from his storehouses.

¹⁴ People are so stupid!
    Metalworkers are fooled by the idols that they themselves made.
These statues are nothing but lies.
    They are stupid.^[a]
