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 heaven by his understanding.
 16When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
 17Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
 18They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
 19The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name. (Jer. 51:15‑19)
