15 aHe has made the earth by His power;
He has established the world by His wisdom,
And bstretched out the heaven by His understanding.
He has established the world by His wisdom,
And bstretched out the heaven by His understanding.
16 When He utters His voice—
There is a multitude of waters in the heavens:
a“He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
He makes lightnings for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.”

17 aEveryone is dull-hearted, without knowledge;
Every metalsmith is put to shame by the carved image;
bFor his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.
Every metalsmith is put to shame by the carved image;
bFor his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.
19 The Portion of Jacob is not like them,
For He is the Maker of all things;
And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance.
The Lord of hosts is His name.
For He is the Maker of all things;
And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance.
The Lord of hosts is His name.
