12 The one who made the earth by his power,established the world by his wisdom,and by his skill stretched out the heavens.
13 When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar,and he brings up clouds from the end of the earth,Makes lightning flash in the rain,and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
14 Everyone is too stupid to know;every artisan is put to shame by his idol:He has molded a fraud,without breath of life.
15 They are nothing, objects of ridicule;they will perish in their time of punishment.
16 Jacob’s portion is nothing like them:for he is the maker of everything!Israel is his very own tribe,Lord of hosts is his name.
17 Gather up your bundle from the land,City living under siege!
18 For thus says the Lord:Now, at this timeI will sling away the inhabitants of the land;I will hem them in,that they may be taken.
