Jeremiah 51:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ When his voice sounds, there is thunder from
    the waters of heaven,
and he makes clouds rise up
    from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
    and brings wind out of his storehouses.
¹⁷ Everyone is stupid^[a] and without knowledge.
    Every goldsmith is put to shame by his own idols,
for his images are false,^[b]
    and there is no life in them.
¹⁸ They’re worthless, a work of mockery,
    and when the time of punishment comes,^[c]
        they’ll perish.
