13. When he thunders, the waters in the skies roar.He makes clouds rise in the sky all over the earth.He sends lightning with the rain.He brings out the wind from his storehouses.
14. People are so stupid and know so little.Goldsmiths are made ashamed by their idols.Those statues are only false gods.They have no breath in them.
15. They are worth nothing.People make fun of them.When they are judged, they will be destroyed.
16. But God, who is Jacob’s Portion, is not like the idols.God made everything.And he made Israel to be his special people.The Lord of heaven’s armies is his name.
17. Get everything you own and prepare to leave.You people of Judah are trapped in the city by your enemies.
