12 The maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens,

13 At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters [is] in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And bringeth out wind from His treasures.

14 Brutish is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image. And there is no breath in them.

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.
