Context Reading
15“He has made the earth by his power.He has established the world by his wisdom.By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens. 16When he utters his voice,there is a roar of waters in the heavens,and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.He makes lightning for the rain,and brings the wind out of his treasuries. 17“Every man has become stupid and without knowledge.Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image,for his molten images are falsehood,and there is no breath in them. 18They are vanity,a work of delusion.In the time of their visitation, they will perish. 19The portion of Jacob is not like these,for he formed all things,including the tribe of his inheritance.Yahweh of Armies is his name.
