12 The one who made the earth by his power,
    established the world by his wisdom,
    and by his skill stretched out the heavens.(A)

    and he brings up clouds from the end of the earth,
Makes lightning flash in the rain,
    and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.

He has molded a fraud,
    without breath of life.(B)

    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.
