Jeremiah 51:16-18

New English Translation

¹⁶ When his voice thunders, the waters in the heavens roar.
He makes the clouds rise from the far-off horizons;
he makes the lightning flash out in the midst of the rain.
He unleashes the wind from the places where he stores it;
¹⁷ all idolaters will prove to be stupid and ignorant.
Every goldsmith will be disgraced by the idol he made.
For the image he forges is merely a sham;
there is no breath in any of those idols.
¹⁸ They are worthless, objects to be ridiculed.
When the time comes to punish them, they will be destroyed.
