Jeremiah 10:12-16
New Living Translation
12 But the Lord made the earth by his power,
and he preserves it by his wisdom.
With his own understanding
he stretched out the heavens.
13 When he speaks in the thunder,
the heavens roar with rain.
He causes the clouds to rise over the earth.
He sends the lightning with the rain
and releases the wind from his storehouses.
14 The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge!
The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make,
for their carefully shaped works are a fraud.
These idols have no breath or power.
15 Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!
On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.
16 But the God of Israel[a] is no idol!
He is the Creator of everything that exists,
including Israel, his own special possession.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
Jeremiah 10:12-16
New International Version
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.
15 They are worthless,(K) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16 He who is the Portion(L) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,(M)
including Israel, the people of his inheritance(N)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.(O)
