12 God made the earth by his power.
    He used his wisdom to build the world.
    He used his understanding to stretch out the skies.
13 When he thunders, the waters in the skies roar.
    He makes clouds rise in the sky all over the earth.
He sends lightning with the rain.
    He brings out the wind from his storehouses.

14 People are so stupid and know so little.
    Goldsmiths are made ashamed by their idols.
Those statues are only false gods.
    They have no breath in them.

    he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning(F) with the rain(G)
    and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(H)

    every goldsmith is shamed(I) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(J)
    they have no breath in them.
