13. When he utters his voice,the waters in the heavens roar,and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth.He makes lightnings for the rain,and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
14. Every man has become brutish and without knowledge.Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image;for his molten image is falsehood,and there is no breath in them.
15. They are vanity, a work of delusion.In the time of their visitation they will perish.

17. Gather up your wares out of the land,you who live under siege.
18. For the Lord says,“Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time,and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
