Jeremiah 10:12-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
12 He made the earth by His power,
established the world(A) by His wisdom,(B)
and spread out the heavens by His understanding.(C)
13 When He thunders,[a]
the waters in the heavens are in turmoil,(D)
and He causes the clouds to rise
from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
and brings the wind from His storehouses.(E)
14 Everyone is stupid and ignorant.
Every goldsmith is put to shame
by his carved image,(F)
for his cast images are a lie;(G)
there is no breath in them.(H)
15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked.
At the time of their punishment
they will be destroyed.(I)
16 Jacob’s Portion[b] is not like these
because He is the One who formed all things.(J)
Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;(K)
Yahweh of Hosts is His name.(L)

Jeremiah 10:12-16
King James Version
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.

Jeremiah 10:12-16
New King James Version
12 He (A)has made the earth by His power,
He has (B)established the world by His wisdom,
And (C)has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.
13 (D)When He utters His voice,
There is a [a]multitude of waters in the heavens:
(E)“And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.”
14 (F)Everyone is (G)dull-hearted, without knowledge;
(H)Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image;
(I)For his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.
15 They are futile, a work of errors;
In the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 (J)The Portion of Jacob is not like them,
For He is the Maker of all things,
And (K)Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
(L)The Lord of hosts is His name.
