14. The Lord Almighty has sworn by himself:I will surely fill you with troops, as with a swarm of locusts,and they will shout in triumph over you.
15. ‘He made the earth by his power;he founded the world by his wisdomand stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
16. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar;he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.He sends lightning with the rainand brings out the wind from his storehouses.
17. ‘Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.The images he makes are a fraud;they have no breath in them.
