The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,

Brutish hath been every man by knowledge, Put to shame hath been every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image, And there is no breath in them.

Vanity [are] they -- work of errors, In the time of their inspection they perish.
19
Not like these [is] the portion of Jacob, For He [is] former of all things, And [Israel is] the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
