12 He (A)has made the earth by His power,
He has (B)established the world by His wisdom,
And (C)has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.
13 (D)When He utters His voice,
There is a [a]multitude of waters in the heavens:
(E)“And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.”

14 (F)Everyone is (G)dull-hearted, without knowledge;
(H)Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image;
(I)For his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.

  1. Jeremiah 10:13 Or noise

12 But God made(A) the earth(B) by his power;
    he founded the world by his wisdom(C)
    and stretched out the heavens(D) by his understanding.
13 When he thunders,(E) the waters in the heavens roar;
    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)

14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
    every goldsmith is shamed(I) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(J)
    they have no breath in them.
