Context of Jeremiah 10:6
4He decorates it with silver and gold. It is fastened with hammer and nails, so it won’t totter. 5Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them for they can do no harm — and they cannot do any good. Lord, there is no one like you. You are great; your name is great in power. 7Who should not fear you, King of the nations? It is what you deserve. For among all the wise people of the nations and among all their kingdoms, there is no one like you. 8They are both stupid and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!
