  1. Jeremiah 10:16 = the Lord

14 Everyone is stupid[a] and without knowledge.
    Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
        for his images are false.[b]
There is no life[c] in them.
15 They’re worthless, a work of mockery,
    and when the time of punishment comes,[d]
        they’ll perish.
16 The Portion of Jacob[e] is not like these.
    He made everything,
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance.
    The Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name.
