Creator of All, Judge of All

15 One made the earth by His power,
set up the world by His wisdom,
and spread out the heavens by His knowledge.[a]
16 At His giving voice—
tumult of waters in the skies!
He causes clouds to rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
and brings forth wind from His storehouses.
17 All mankind is stupid, ignorant.
Every goldsmith is disgraced by an idol,
for his molten image is a lie—
there is no breath in them.
