Jeremiah 10:3-5

3The customs of the peoples are useless: it is just a tree cut from the forest, the work of the hands of a craftsman with a chisel.

4They decorate it with silver and gold, and fasten it with hammer and nails so it won’t totter.

5Like a scarecrow in a cucumber garden, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk! Do not fear them for they can do no harm —nor do any good.”
