Jeremiah 10:3-8

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
