Jeremiah 10

Jeremiah 10

Yahweh 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.

¹⁴ Everyone is stupid and ignorant.
    Metalsmiths are put to shame by their idols.
        Their statues are false gods.
            They can’t breathe.
¹⁵ They are worthless jokes.
    When they are punished, they disappear.
¹⁶ Jacob’s God isn’t like them.
    He made everything,
        and Israel is the tribe that belongs to him.
            His name is Yahweh Tsebaoth.
