Jeremiah 10:1-9

1HearH8085 the wordH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 speaksH1696 to you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 2ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “1Do not learnH3925 the wayH1870 of the nationsH1471, And do not be terrifiedH2865 by the signsH226 of the heavensH8064 AlthoughH3588 the nationsH1471 are terrifiedH2865 by them;3For the customsH2708 of the peoplesH5971 are 23delusionH1892; BecauseH3588 4it is woodH6086 cutH3772 from the forestH3293, The workH4639 of the handsH3027 of a craftsmanH2796 with a cuttingH4621 toolH4621.4They 5decorateH3302 it with silverH3701 and with goldH2091; They 6fastenH2388 it with nailsH4548 and with hammersH4717 So that it will not totterH6328.5Like a scarecrowH8560 in a cucumberH4750 fieldH4750 are they, And they 7cannotH3808 speakH1696; They mustH5375 be 8carriedH5375, BecauseH3588 they cannotH3808 walkH6805! Do not fearH3372 them, For they 9can doH7489 noH3808 harmH7489, NorH1571H369 can they doH3190 anyH1571 goodH3190.”

610ThereH369 is noneH369 likeH3644 You, O LordH3068; You are 11greatH1419, and greatH1419 is Your nameH8034 in mightH1369.712WhoH4310 would not fearH3372 You, O 13KingH4428 of the nationsH1471? IndeedH3588 it is Your dueH2969! For among allH3605 the 14wiseH2450 menH2450 of the nationsH1471 And in allH3605 their kingdomsH4438, ThereH369 is noneH369 likeH3644 You.8But they are altogetherH259 15stupidH1197 and foolishH3688 In their disciplineH4148 of 16delusionH1892--17their idol is woodH6086!9BeatenH7554 18silverH3701 is broughtH935 from 19TarshishH8659, And 20goldH2091 from UphazH210, The workH4639 of a craftsmanH2796 and of the handsH3027 of a goldsmithH6884; VioletH8504 and purpleH713 are their clothingH3830; They are allH3605 the 21workH4639 of skilledH2450 menH2450.
