A Hymn Of Praise To God

12 But as for our God, he made the earth with his power, and with his wisdom hath he finished the whole compass of the world; with his discretion hath he spread out the heavens. 13 At his voice the waters gather together in the air; he draweth up the clouds from the utmost parts of the earth: he turneth lightning to rain, and bringeth forth the winds out of their treasures. 14 His wisdom maketh all men fools. And confounded be all casters of images, for that they cast is but a vain thing, and hath no life.
