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,
    the waters in the heavens roar,
    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.

11 Say this to those who worship other gods: “Your so-called gods, who did not make the heavens and earth, will vanish from the earth and from under the heavens.”[a]

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.
