12 He has made the earth by His power.
    He has established the world by His wisdom
    and has stretched out the heavens by His discretion.

    and there is 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)
