Context of Jeremiah 10:6

4He decorates it with overlays of silver and gold. He uses hammer and nails to fasten it together so that it will not fall over. 5Such idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field. They cannot talk. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them because they cannot hurt you. And they do not have any power to help you.” I said, “There is no one like you, Lord. You are great. And you are renowned for your power. 7Everyone should revere you, O King of all nations, because you deserve to be revered. For there is no one like you among any of the wise people of the nations nor among any of their kings. 8The people of those nations are both stupid and foolish. Instruction from a wooden idol is worthless!
