12fgHe hath made the earth by his power,
hHe hath established the world by his wisdom,
And ihath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13iiWhen he kuttereth his voice, there is a ||multitude of waters in the heavens,
And kkhe causeth lthe vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
llHe maketh lightnings ||with rain,
And kkbringeth forth the wind out of mhis treasures.
14Every man n||is brutish in his knowledge:
Every founder ois confounded by the graven image:
For his molten image pis falsehood, and qthere is no breath in them.
15rThey are vanity, and the work of errors:
In the time of stheir visitation ethey shall perish.
16tThe portion of Jacob is not like them:
For he is the former of all things;
And uIsrael is the rod of his inheritance:
vThe Lord of hosts is his name.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
It is he who made the earth by his power,
who established the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
and there is no breath in them.
They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
Not like these is he who is 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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
But God made the earth by his power;
he founded the world by his wisdom
and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar;
he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;
they have no breath in them.
They are worthless, the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
He made the earth by his power,
established the world by his wisdom,
and spread out the heavens by his understanding.
When he thunders,
the waters in the heavens are in turmoil,
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.
Everyone is stupid and ignorant.
Every goldsmith is put to shame
by his carved image,
for his cast images are a lie;
there is no breath in them.
They are worthless, a work to be mocked.
At the time of their punishment
they will be destroyed.
Jacob’s Portion is not like these
because he is the one who formed all things.
Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
the Lord of Armies is his name.

NLTNew Living Translation
But the Lord made the earth by his power,
and he preserves it by his wisdom.
With his own understanding
he stretched out the heavens.
When he speaks in the thunder,
the heavens roar with rain.
He causes the clouds to rise over the earth.
He sends the lightning with the rain
and releases the wind from his storehouses.
The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge!
The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make,
for their carefully shaped works are a fraud.
These idols have no breath or power.
Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!
On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.
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!

He is the maker of the earth by his power,
who created the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding he stretched out heaven.
When he utters his voice there is a noise of water in the heavens,
and he causes the mist to rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
and he causes the wind to go out from his storehouses.
Everyone is stupid, without knowledge,
every goldsmith is ashamed by his divine image,
for his cast image is an illusion,
and there is no breath in them.
They are vanity, a work of mockery,
at the time of their punishment, they will perish.
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.
