Jeremiah 10:3-5

3Their ways are futile and foolish. They cut down a tree, and a craftsman carves an idol.

4They decorate it with gold and silver and then fasten it securely with hammer and nails so it won’t fall over.

5Their gods are like helpless scarecrows in a cucumber field! They cannot speak, and they need to be carried because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of such gods, for they can neither harm you nor do you any good.”
