Jeremiah 51:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ 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 forth the ^(C)wind from His storehouses.
^17 (D)All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his ^[a]idols,
For his molten images are ^(E)deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.
¹⁸ They are ^(F)worthless, a work of mockery;
In the time of their punishment they will perish.
