Jeremiah 51:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ At the sound of God’s voice,
    the heavenly waters roar.
        God raises the clouds from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
    and sends the wind from his treasuries.
¹⁷ Everyone is too foolish to understand;
    every smith is shamed by his idols,
        for their images are shams;
        they aren’t alive.
¹⁸ They are a delusion, a charade;
    at the appointed time they will be ruined!
