10:12 Praising Yahweh

Southern kingdom

12 Yahweh made the earth using his power.

≈ He established the world by his wisdom,

≈ and with his understanding, he stretched out the skies.

13 When he projects his voice, there’s a rush of waters in the skies,

≈ and he brings clouds up from the ends of the earth.

He made lightning for the rain,

≈ and sends out wind from his storehouse.

14 Every person has become stupid from knowledge.

Every metalworker is put to shame by idols

because his molten image is a deception and there’s no life in them.

15 They’re worthless—a work of mockery.

They’ll perish at the time for their punishment.

16 Ya’akov’s (Jacob’s) inheritance isn’t like that

because he’s the one who made everything,

and the Israelis are his inheritance.

His name is Commander-in-chief Yahweh.
