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.
Jeremiah 10:12-16
New International Version
12 But God made(A) the earth(B) by his power;
he founded the world by his wisdom(C)
and stretched out the heavens(D) by his understanding.
13 When he thunders,(E) the waters in the heavens roar;
he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning(F) with the rain(G)
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(H)
14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed(I) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(J)
they have no breath in them.
15 They are worthless,(K) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16 He who is the Portion(L) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,(M)
including Israel, the people of his inheritance(N)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.(O)
