Jeremiah 10:12-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹² He made the earth by His power,
established the world^(A) by His wisdom,^(B)
and spread out the heavens by His understanding.^(C)
13 When He thunders,^[a]
the waters in the heavens are in turmoil,^(D)
and He causes the clouds to rise
from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
and brings the wind from His storehouses.^(E)

¹⁴ Everyone is stupid and ignorant.
Every goldsmith is put to shame
by his carved image,^(F)
for his cast images are a lie;^(G)
there is no breath in them.^(H)
15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked.
At the time of their punishment
they will be destroyed.^(I)
16 Jacob’s Portion^[b] is not like these
because He is the One who formed all things.^(J)
Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;^(K)
Yahweh of Hosts is His name.^(L)
