mkjv@Jeremiah:10:1 @ Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:2 @ So says the LORD, Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be terrified at the signs of the heavens; for the nations are terrified at them.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:3 @ For the customs of the people [are] vain; for one cuts a tree out of the forest with the axe, the work of the hands of the workman.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:4 @ They adorn it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers, so that it will not wobble.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:5 @ They [are] like a rounded post, and they cannot speak. They must surely be lifted, because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them; for they cannot do evil nor good, for it is not in them.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:6 @ [There is] none like You, O LORD; You [are] great, and Your name [is] great in might.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:7 @ Who would not fear You, O King of nations? For fear belongs to You, because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, [there is] none like You.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:8 @ But they are all at once foolish and animal-like; the tree [is] an example of vanities.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:9 @ Silver beaten into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the goldsmith. Violet and purple [is] their clothing; they [are] all the work of skillful ones.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:10 @ But the LORD [is] the true God, He [is] the living God, and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to stand His fury.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:11 @ So you shall say to them, The gods who have not made the heavens and the earth, they shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:12 @ He has made the earth by His power; He has established the world by His wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by His judgment.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:13 @ When He utters His voice, [there is] a noise of many waters in the heavens. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightnings with rain, and brings forth the wind out of His treasures.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:14 @ Every man is stupid for [lack of] knowledge; every refiner is put to shame by the graven image; for his molten image is a lie, and no breath is in them.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:15 @ They [are] vanity, the work of delusion; in the time of their judgment they shall perish.

mkjv@Jeremiah:10:16 @ The Portion of Jacob [is] not like them; for He [is] the Maker of all things; and Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance. Jehovah of hosts [is] His name.
