Jeremiah 51:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ When He speaks, there is a storm of waters in the heavens. He makes the clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and brings the wind from His store-houses. ¹⁷ No man thinks well, and he is without learning. Every man who works with gold is put to shame by his false gods. For the objects of worship that he makes are false, and there is no breath in them. ¹⁸ They are of no worth, a false show. At the time of their punishment they will be destroyed.
