Jeremiah 51:15-19

^{Tools
15}

It is ^(A)He who made the earth by His power,
Who established the world by His wisdom,
And by His understanding He ^(B)stretched out the heavens.

^{Tools
16}

When He utters His ^(C)voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
And He causes the ^(D)clouds to ascend from the end of the earth;
He makes lightning for the rain
And brings forth the ^(E)wind from His storehouses.

^{Tools
17}

^(F)All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his ^(a)idols,
For his molten images are ^(G)deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.

^{Tools
18}

They are ^(H)worthless, a work of mockery;
In the time of their punishment they will perish.

^{Tools
19}

The ^(I)portion of Jacob is not like these;
For the ^(b)Maker of all is He,
And of the ^(c)tribe of His inheritance;
The ^(J)Lord of hosts is His name.
