Jeremiah 10

1HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 speaketh unto youH834, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: 2thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, LearnH3925 notH408 the wayH1870 of the nationsH1471, and be notH408 dismayedH2865 at the signsH226 of heavenH8064; for the nationsH1471 are dismayedH2865 at them. 3For the customsH2708 of the peoplesH5971 are vanityH1892: for one cutteth a treeH6086 outH3027 of the forestH3293, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the workman with the axe. 4They deck it with silverH3701 and with goldH2091; they fastenH2388 it with nailsH4548 and with hammersH4717, that it move notH3808. 5They are like a palmH8560 treeH8560, of turned workH4749, and speakH1696 notH3808: they mustH1571 needs be borneH5375, becauseH3588 they cannotH3808 goH3190. Be notH3808 afraidH3372 of them; for they cannotH3808 doH3190 evilH7489, neitherH3808 is it in them to doH3190 goodH3190. 6There is noneH369 like unto thee, O LORDH3068; thou art greatH1419, and thy nameH8034 is greatH1419 in might. 7Who would notH3808 fearH3372 thee, O KingH4428 of the nationsH1471? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among allH3605 the wiseH2450 menH2450 of the nationsH1471, and in allH3605 their royalH4438 estate, there is noneH369 like unto thee. 8But they are togetherH259 brutish and foolishH3688: the instructionH4148 of idolsH1892, it is but a stock. 9There is silverH3701 beatenH7554 intoH935 platesH7554 which is broughtH935 from TarshishH8659, and goldH2091 from UphazH210, the workH4639 of the artificer and of the handsH3027 of the goldsmithH6884; blueH8504 and purpleH713 for their clothingH3830; they are allH3605 the workH4639 of cunning menH2450. 10But the LORDH3068 is the trueH571 GodH430; he is the livingH2416 GodH430, and an everlastingH5769 kingH4428: at his wrathH7110 the earthH776 trembleth, and the nationsH1471 are notH3808 able to abide his indignationH2195. 11ThusH1836 shall ye sayH560 unto them, The godsH426 that have notH3809 madeH5648 the heavensH8065 and the earthH772, theseH1836 shall perishH7 from the earthH772, and from underH8460 the heavensH8065. 12He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and by his understandingH8394 hath he stretchedH5186 outH5186 the heavensH8064: 13when he uttereth his voiceH6963, there is a tumultH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, and he causeth the vapours to ascendH5927 from the ends of the earthH776; he maketh lightningsH1300 for the rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318 the windH7307 outH3318 of his treasuriesH214. 14EveryH3605 manH120 is becomeH3001 brutish and is withoutH3808 knowledgeH1847; everyH3605 goldsmithH6884 is put to shame by his gravenH6459 imageH6459: for his molten imageH6459 is falsehoodH8267, and there is noH3808 breathH7307 in them. 15They are vanityH1892, a workH4639 of delusionH1892: in the time of their visitation they shall perishH6. 16The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is notH3808 like theseH428; for he is the formerH428 of allH3605 things; and IsraelH3478 is the tribeH7626 of his inheritanceH5159: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034. 17GatherH622 upH3427 thy wares outH3427 of the landH776, O thou that abidest in the siegeH4692. 18For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, BeholdH2005, I will sling outH3427 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it. 19WoeH188 is meH5921 for my hurt! my woundH4347 is grievous: but I saidH559, TrulyH389 this is my griefH2483, and I mustH5375 bearH5375 it. 20My tentH168 is spoiled, and allH3605 my cordsH4340 are brokenH5423: my childrenH1121 are goneH3318 forthH3318 of meH3318, and they are notH369: there is noneH369 to stretchH5186 forthH3318 my tentH168 anyH3605 moreH5750, and to setH6965 upH6965 my curtainsH3407. 21For the shepherdsH7462 are become brutish, and have notH3808 inquiredH1875 of the LORDH3068: therefore they have notH3808 prospered, and allH3605 their flocks are scatteredH6327. 22The voiceH6963 of a rumour, beholdH2009 it cometh, and a greatH1419 commotionH7494 outH935 of the northH6828 countryH776, to makeH7760 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 a desolationH8077, a dwellingH4583 placeH7760 of jackalsH8577. 23O LORDH3068, I knowH3045 that the wayH1870 of manH376 is notH3808 in himselfH3045: it is notH3808 in manH376 that walketh to directH3559 his stepsH6806. 24O LORDH3068, correctH3256 meH3256, but with judgmentH4941; notH408 in thine angerH639, lestH6435 thou bringH4591 meH3256 to nothingH408. 25PourH8210 outH8210 thy furyH2534 uponH5921 the heathen that knowH3045 thee notH3808, and uponH5921 the familiesH4940 that callH7121 notH3808 on thy nameH8034: for they have devouredH398 JacobH3290, yeaH3588, they have devouredH398 him and consumedH398 him, and have laidH8074 wasteH8074 his habitation.
