Context of Jeremiah 10:6
4He covers it with silver and gold to make it look beautiful. He uses nails to fix it together so that it will not fall down. 5Those idols cannot speak. They are like scarecrows that a farmer puts in his field of vegetables. The idols cannot walk, so people have to carry them. So do not be afraid of them. They cannot hurt you. And they do not have any power to help you.’ There is nobody like you, Lord. You are great and your name shows your power. 7Everyone should respect you, the King who rules all the nations. You deserve that people give you honour. There is nobody like you anywhere in the world. Among all the wise people of the nations and among all their kings, there is no one like you. 8The people of those nations are stupid and foolish. They think that wooden idols can teach them something!
