Jeremiah 10:1-9

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.
