The maker and the idol

15He made the earth by his power, he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.

16At the sound of his voice, a multitude of waters is in the heavens; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain, and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

17Every man is made brutish, without knowledge; every metalworker is put to shame by his idol, for his cast image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

18They are vanity, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they will perish.

19Not like these is the Portion of Jacob, for he is the one who formed everything, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; Yahweh of Armies is his name.
