Jeremiah 51:15-18

    and by his understanding stretched out the heavens. 

    [16] When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,

    He makes lightning for the rain,

        and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses. 

    [17] Every man is stupid and without knowledge;

        every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
