Jeremiah 51:13-17 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

13. O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy covetousness.

14. The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with the cankerworm; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

15. He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens:

16. when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.

17. Every man is become brutish and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
