Jeremiah 10:1-4

1Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.

2Thus says the Lord: "Learn not the way of the nations, nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens because the nations are dismayed at them,

3for the customs of the peoples are vanity. A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.

4They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot move.
