Context of Jeremiah 10:1
People of Israel, listen to what the Lord says to you. 2The Lord says, ‘Do not copy the way that people of other nations live. They are afraid of strange things that they see in the sky. But you must not be afraid of those things. 3The customs of those people are useless. They cut down a tree in the forest. A worker uses his tools to make it into an idol.
