Jeremiah 10:3-10

3For the customsH2708 of the peopleH5971 are vainH1892: for one cuttethH3772 a treeH6086 out of the forestH3293, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the workmanH2796, with the axeH4621.1

4They deckH3302 it with silverH3701 and with goldH2091; they fastenH2388 it with nailsH4548 and with hammersH4717, that it may not moveH6328.

5They are uprightH4749 as the palm treeH8560, but speakH1696 not: they must needsH5375 be borneH5375, because they cannot goH6805. Be not afraidH3372 of them; for they cannot do evilH7489, neither also is it in them to do goodH3190.

6Forasmuch as there is none like thee, O LORDH3068; thou art greatH1419, and thy nameH8034 is greatH1419 in mightH1369.

7Who would not fearH3372 thee, O KingH4428 of nationsH1471? for to thee doth it appertainH2969: forasmuch as among all the wiseH2450 men of the nationsH1471, and in all their kingdomsH4438, there is none like thee.2

8But they are altogetherH259 stupidH1197 and foolishH3688: the stockH6086 is a doctrineH4148 of vanitiesH1892.3

9SilverH3701 beaten into platesH7554 is broughtH935 from TarshishH8659, and goldH2091 from UphazH210, the workH4639 of the craftsmanH2796, and of the handsH3027 of the goldsmithH6884: blueH8504 and purpleH713 is their clothingH3830: they are all the workH4639 of skilfulH2450 men .

10But the LORDH3068 is the trueH571 GodH430, he is the livingH2416 GodH430, and an everlastingH5769 kingH4428: at his wrathH7110 the earthH776 shall trembleH7493, and the nationsH1471 shall not be able to abideH3557 his indignationH2195.456
