Jeremiah 10:3-8

3For the statutes of the peoples are vanity; for [it is] a tree cut out of the forest, worked with a chisel by the hands of the artizan;

4they deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5They are as a palm-column of turned work, and they speak not; they are carried, for they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

6There is none like unto thee, Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

7Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? For to thee doth it appertain; for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

8But they are one and all senseless and foolish; the teaching of vanities is a stock.
