Jeremiah 10:2-16

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 menH2450.10But the LordH3068 is the 22trueH571 GodH430; He is the 23livingH2416 GodH430 and the 24everlastingH5769 KingH4428. At His wrathH7110 the 25earthH776 quakesH7493, And the nationsH1471 cannotH3808 26endureH3557 His indignationH2195.

1127ThusH1836 you shall sayH560 to them, “The 28godsH426 that did not makeH5648 the heavensH8065 and the earthH778 will 29perishH7 from the earthH778 and from underH8460 the 30heavensH8065.”

12It is 31He who madeH6213 the earthH776 by His powerH3581, Who 32establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by His wisdomH2451; And by His understandingH8394 He has 33stretchedH5186 out the heavensH8064.13When He uttersH5414 His 34voiceH6963, there is a tumultH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, And He causes the 35cloudsH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endH7097 of the earthH776; He makesH6213 lightningH1300 for the rainH4306, And bringsH3318 out the 36windH7307 from His storehousesH214.14EveryH3605 manH120 is 37stupidH1197, devoidH4480 of knowledgeH1847; EveryH3605 goldsmithH6884 is putH954 to shameH954 by his 38idolsH6459; For his moltenH5262 imagesH5262 are deceitfulH8267, And there is noH3808 breathH7307 in them.15They are 39worthlessH1892, a workH4639 of mockeryH8595; In the 40timeH6256 of their punishmentH6486 they will perishH6.16The 41portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like theseH428; For the 4243MakerH3335 of allH3605 is He, And 44IsraelH3478 is the tribeH7626 of His inheritanceH5159; The 45LordH3068 of hostsH6635 is His nameH8034.
