13. O you who live by mighty waters, rich in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your life.
14. Yahweh of hosts has sworn by himself, “Surely I will fill you with troops like the creeping locusts, and they will sing over you a war cry.”
15. He is the one who made the earth by his power, the one who created the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
16. At the giving of his voice there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the patches of mist to go up from the end of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and he brings out the wind from his storehouses.
17. All humankind turns out to be stupid, without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by the divine image. For his cast image is a lie, and there is no breath in them.
18. They are worthless, a work of mockery. At the time of their punishment, they will perish.
