Context of Jeremiah 10:1
You people of Israel, listen to what the Lord has to say to you. 2The Lord says, “Do not start following pagan religious practices. Do not be in awe of signs that occur in the sky even though the nations hold them in awe. 3For the religion of these people is worthless. They cut down a tree in the forest, and a craftsman makes it into an idol with his tools.
