13 When he ·thunders [L gives forth his voice], the waters in the ·skies [heavens] ·roar [are in tumult].
    He makes ·clouds [or mist] rise ·in the sky all over the earth [L from the ends of the earth].
He sends lightning with the rain
    and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

14 People are so stupid and know so little.
    ·Goldsmiths [Smelters] are ·made ashamed [humiliated] by their idols,
because those ·statues are only false gods [L images are false].
    They have no breath in them.
15 They are ·worth nothing [useless; meaningless; L a breath]; ·people make fun of them [laughable; a derision].
    When they are judged, they will ·be destroyed [perish].

13 When he thunders,(A) the waters in the heavens roar;
    he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning(B) with the rain(C)
    and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(D)

14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
    every goldsmith is shamed(E) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(F)
    they have no breath in them.
15 They are worthless,(G) the objects of mockery;
    when their judgment comes, they will perish.

13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

13 (A)When He utters His voice,
There is a [a]multitude of waters in the heavens:
(B)“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 (C)Everyone is (D)dull-hearted, without knowledge;
(E)Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image;
(F)For his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.
15 They are futile, a work of errors;
In the time of their punishment they shall perish.
