11 Tell them this: These gods will disappear from the earth
and from under heaven because they didn’t make heaven and earth.

12 The Lord made the earth by his power.
He set up the world by his skill.
He stretched out the world by his understanding.
13 He speaks, and the water in the sky produces a storm.
He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning flash with the rain.
He brings wind out of his storehouses.
