10 (A)But the Lord is the true God;
    (B)he is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
    and the nations cannot endure his indignation.

11 Thus shall you say to them: (C)“The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth (D)shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”[a]

12 (E)It is he who (F)made the earth by his power,
    (G)who established the world by his wisdom,
    and (H)by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
13 (I)When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
    (J)and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
(K)He makes lightning (L)for the rain,
    (M)and he brings forth the wind (N)from his storehouses.
14 (O)Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
    (P)every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
    (Q)and there is no breath in them.
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
    at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 Not like these is he who is (R)the portion of Jacob,
    for he is the one who formed all things,
(S)and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
    (T)the Lord of hosts is his name.

10 But the Lord is the true God;
    he is the living God,(A) the eternal King.(B)
When he is angry,(C) the earth trembles;(D)
    the nations cannot endure his wrath.(E)

11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish(F) from the earth and from under the heavens.’”[a]

12 But God made(G) the earth(H) by his power;
    he founded the world by his wisdom(I)
    and stretched out the heavens(J) by his understanding.
13 When he thunders,(K) the waters in the heavens roar;
    he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning(L) with the rain(M)
    and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(N)

14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
    every goldsmith is shamed(O) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(P)
    they have no breath in them.
15 They are worthless,(Q) the objects of mockery;
    when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16 He who is the Portion(R) of Jacob is not like these,
    for he is the Maker of all things,(S)
including Israel, the people of his inheritance(T)
    the Lord Almighty is his name.(U)
