Jeremiah 10:1-9

1HearH8085 the wordH1697 that Jehovah speaketh unto you, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

2ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: LearnH3925 not the wayH1870 of the nationsH1471, and be not dismayedH2865 at the signsH226 of the heavensH8064; for the nationsH1471 are dismayedH2865 at them.

3For the statutesH2708 of the peoplesH5971 are vanityH1892; for [it is] a treeH6086 cutH3772 out of the forestH3293, worked with a chisel by the handsH3027 of the artizan;

4they deck it with silverH3701 and with goldH2091; they fasten it with nailsH4548 and with hammersH4717, that it move not.

5They are as a palm-column of turned workH4749, and they speakH1696 not; they are carriedH5375, for they cannot goH3190. Be not afraidH3372 of them; for they cannot do evilH7489, neither alsoH1571 is it in them to do goodH3190.

6There is none like unto thee, Jehovah; thou art greatH1419, and thy nameH8034 is greatH1419 in might.

7Who would not fearH3372 thee, O KingH4428 of nationsH1471? For to thee doth it appertain; for among all the wiseH2450 men of the nationsH1471, and in all their kingdomsH4438, there is none like unto thee.

8But they are oneH259 and all senseless and foolish; the teaching of vanitiesH1892 is a stock.

9SilverH3701 spreadH7554 into plates is broughtH935 from TarshishH8659, and goldH2091 from UphazH210, the workH4639 of the artizan and of the handsH3027 of the founder; blueH8504 and purpleH713 is their clothingH3830: they are all the workH4639 of skilful [men].
