Jeremiah 51:15-17
New Living Translation
A Hymn of Praise to the Lord
15 The Lord made the earth by his power,
and he preserves it by his wisdom.
With his own understanding
he stretched out the heavens.
16 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.
17 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.
Jeremiah 51:15-17

he founded the world by his wisdom(A)
and stretched(B) out the heavens by his understanding.(C)
16 When he thunders,(D) the waters in the heavens roar;
he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning with the rain(E)
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(F)

every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(G)
