Jeremiah 51:17 in Context — Jeremiah 51
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.
19 No es como ellos la parte de Jacob: porque él es el Formador de todo; é [Israel] es la vara de su heredad: Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre.
