Jeremiah 10:12-16

Contemporary English Version

¹² With your wisdom and power
you created the earth
    and spread out the heavens.
¹³ The waters in the heavens roar
    at your command.
You make clouds appear—
you send the winds
    from your storehouse
and make lightning flash
    in the rain.

¹⁴ People who make idols
    are so stupid!
They will be disappointed,
because their false gods
    are 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 Israel
    to be your very own.
Your name is the Lord
    All-Powerful.
