Jeremiah 10:3-11

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].

10But Jehovah Elohim is truthH571; he is the living 1GodH430, and the KingH4428 of eternity. At his wrathH7110 the earthH776 trembleth, and the nationsH1471 cannot abide his indignationH2195.

11Thus shall ye sayH560 unto them: The 2godsH426 that have not made the heavensH8065 and the earthH772, these shall perish from the earthH772, and from under the heavensH8065.
