Jeremiah 51:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ When he speaks, there is thunder in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to rise around the world; he brings the lightning with the rain and the winds from his treasuries. ¹⁷ Compared to him, all men are stupid beasts. They have no wisdom—none at all! The silversmith is dulled by the images he makes, for in making them he lies; for he calls them gods when there is not a breath of life in them at all! ¹⁸ Idols are nothing! They are lies! And the time is coming when God will come and see, and shall destroy them all.
