16 He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these,

for he is the Maker of all things,

including Israel, the people of his inheritance—

the Lord Almighty is his name.

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.

16 But the God of Israel is no idol!

He is the Creator of everything that exists,

including Israel, his own special possession.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

16 The Portion of Jacob is not like them,

For He is the Maker of all things,

And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;

The Lord of hosts is His name.

16 But God, who is Jacob’s Portion, is not like the idols.

He made everything,

and he chose Israel to be his special people.

The Lord All-Powerful is his name.

16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

16 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things, and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

16 Jacob’s God isn’t like them. 

He made everything, 

and Israel is the tribe that belongs to him. 

His name is the Lord of Armies. 

16 Jacob’s Portion is not like these

because He is the One who formed all things.

Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;

Yahweh of Hosts is His name.

16 Not like these is the Lord, the portion of Jacob,

for he is the one who formed all things,

and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;

the Lord of hosts is his name.

16 The portion of Jacob is not like these,

for he is the creator of everything,

and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance,

Yahweh of hosts is his name.

16 The God of Jacob is not like them.

He gives his people everything they need.

He made everything that exists.

And that includes Israel.

It’s the nation that belongs to him.

His name is The Lord Who Rules Over All.

16 The portion of Jacob is not like these;

For the Maker of all is He,

And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;

The Lord of hosts is His name.
