Jeremiah 10:12-16 - A Hymn Of Praise To God

12 The LORD is the one who made the world by his power, who established the earth by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. 13 When his voice sounds there is thunder from the waters of heaven, and he makes clouds rise up from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and brings wind out of his storehouses.

14 Everyone is stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false. There is no life in them. 15 They're worthless, a work of mockery, and when the time of punishment comes, they'll perish. 16 The Portion of Jacob is not like these. He made everything, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of the Heavenly Armies is his name.
