Jer. 51:15‑19• 15He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
 16When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
 17Every man is become brutish, so as to have no knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
 18They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
 19The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name. (Jer. 51:15‑19)
