Jeremiah 10:3-11

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.
