15 “It is he who made the earth by his power,
    who established the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding
    stretched out the heavens.

    and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightnings for the rain,
    and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.

    every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols;
for his images are false,
    and there is no breath in them.
