Jeremiah 10:1-4

1Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, house of Israel. 2This is what the Lord says: “1Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens, Although the nations are terrified by them;3For the customs of the peoples are 2futile; For 3it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.4They 4decorate the idol with silver and gold; They 5fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not totter.
