22 Have you no respect for me?
Why don’t you tremble in my presence?

as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross.
The waves may toss and roar,
but they can never pass the boundaries I set.

Jeremiah 10:11-16
New Living Translation
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.
14 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.
15 Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!
On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.
16 But the God of Israel[b] is no idol!
He is the Creator of everything that exists,
including Israel, his own special possession.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
Jeremiah 10:11-16
New International Version
Jeremiah 10:11-16
New International Version
11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish(A) from the earth and from under the heavens.’”[a]
12 But God made(B) the earth(C) by his power;
he founded the world by his wisdom(D)
and stretched out the heavens(E) by his understanding.
13 When he thunders,(F) the waters in the heavens roar;
he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning(G) with the rain(H)
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(I)
14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed(J) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(K)
they have no breath in them.
15 They are worthless,(L) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16 He who is the Portion(M) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,(N)
including Israel, the people of his inheritance(O)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.(P)

5 They deliberately forget that God made the heavens long ago by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. 6 Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. 7 And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.
