Jeremiah 51:16 in Context — Jeremiah 51

14 Jehová de los ejércitos juró por su vida, [diciendo]: Yo te llenaré de hombres como de langostas, y levantarán contra ti gritería.

15 El [es el] que hizo la tierra con su fortaleza, el que afirmó el mundo con su sabiduría, y extendió los cielos con inteligencia;

16 El que da con su voz muchedumbre de aguas del cielo, y hace subir las nubes de lo postrero de la tierra; él hace relámpagos con la lluvia, y saca el viento de sus tesoros.

17 Todo hombre se ha infatuado y [es] sin ciencia: avergüénzase todo artífice de la escultura, porque mentira es su vaciadizo, que no tiene espíritu.

18 Vanidad son, obra de irrisiones; en el tiempo de su visitación perecerán.
