He has bestablished the world by His wisdom,
And chas stretched out the heavens at His discretion.
There is a1 multitude of waters in the heavens:
b“And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.”
cEvery metalsmith is put to shame by an image;
dFor his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.
For He is the Maker of all things,
And bIsrael is the tribe of His inheritance;
cThe Lord of hosts is His name.
The Coming Captivity of Judah
O inhabitant of the fortress!

The inhabitants of the land,
And will distress them,
bThat they may find it so.”
