12 With your wisdom and poweryou created the earthand spread out the heavens.
13 The waters in the heavens roarat your command.You make clouds appear—you send the windsfrom your storehouseand make lightning flashin the rain.
14 People who make idolsare so stupid!They will be disappointed,because their false godsare not alive.
15 Idols are merely a joke,and when the time is right,they will be destroyed.
16 But you, Israel's God,created all things,and you chose Israelto be your very own.Your name is the LordAll-Powerful.
17 I said to the people of Judah,“Gather your things;you are surrounded.
18 The Lord said these troubleswill lead to your capture,and he will throw youfrom this landlike a stone from a sling.”
