Names, part-2
Adonai-Tzva’ot has sworn by himself,
“I will fill you with men as numerous as grasshoppers;
they will raise over you a shout of triumph.”
He made the earth by his power,
established the world by his wisdom
spread out the sky by his understanding.
When he thunders, the waters in heaven roar,
he raises clouds from the ends of the earth,
he makes the lightning flash in the rain
and brings the wind out from his storehouses.
At this, everyone is proved stupid,
ignorant, every goldsmith put to shame by his idol!
The figures he casts are a fraud, there is no breath in them,
they are nothings, ridiculous objects;
when the day for their punishment comes, they will perish.
Yirmeyahu (Jer) 51:14-19 (CJB)
