12 For ver. 12-16, see ch. 51:15-19It is he who Gen. 1:1,6,9;Ps. 104:5;Prov. 3:19made the earth by his power,
Gen. 1:1,6,9;Ps. 104:5;Prov. 3:19who established the world by his wisdom,
and Job 9:8by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
13 [Job 38:34;Ps. 104:6,7] When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
Ps. 135:7and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
Ps. 135:7He makes lightning ch. 14:22;Job 5:10for the rain,
Ps. 135:7and he brings forth the wind Job 38:22from his storehouses.
14 ver. 8;Prov. 30:2;[Rom. 1:22] Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
See Isa. 42:17every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
Ps. 135:17;Hab. 2:19and there is no breath in them.
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 Not like these is he who is Ps. 16:5the portion of Jacob,
for he is the one who formed all things,
Deut. 32:9and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
ch. 31:35;32:18;50:34the Lord of hosts is his name.
