13 When he shouts like thunder,
    the water in the sky roars.
He causes clouds to rise from the far places of the earth.
    He causes bright lightning to show in the storms.
He opens his rooms so that the wind comes out
    and it blows everywhere.
14 People who worship idols are stupid.
    They do not understand what they are doing.
The men who make idols will be ashamed.
    They make images of gods that are false.

When the time for their punishment arrives,
    God will destroy them.

15 They are worthless,(G) the objects of mockery;
    when their judgment comes, they will perish.
