11 “You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”

12 God has made the earth by his power.
    He has established the world by his wisdom,
    and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
13 When he utters his voice,

    and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightnings for the rain,
    and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
