13 When He utters His (A)voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
And He causes the (B)clouds to ascend from the end of the earth;
He makes lightning for the rain,
And brings out the (C)wind from His storehouses.
14 Every man is (D)stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his [a]idols;
For his molten images are deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.
15 They are (E)worthless, a work of mockery;
In the (F)time of their punishment they will perish.

  1. Jeremiah 10:14 Or graven image

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.
