Context of Jeremiah 10:1
Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you, O Israel! 2This is what the Lord says: “Do not act like the other nations, who try to read their future in the stars. Do not be afraid of their predictions, even though other nations are terrified by them. 3Their ways are futile and foolish. They cut down a tree, and a craftsman carves an idol.
