Jeremiah

Jeremiah 10:11–13

11Thus you are to tell them: “These gods, who have made neither the heavens nor the earth, will perish from this earth and from under these heavens.”a

12The LORD made the earth by His power;

He established the world by His wisdom

and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

13When He thunders,

the waters in the heavens roar;

He causes the clouds to rise

from the ends of the earth.

He generates the lightning with the rain

and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
