Jeremiah:10:1 @
Hear ye the word ,
O house of Israel ,
That Jehovah hath spoken for you .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:2 @
Thus said Jehovah :
Unto the way of the nations accustom not yourselves ,
And by the signs of the heavens be not affrighted ,
For the nations are affrighted by them .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:3 @
For the statutes of the peoples are vanity ,
For a tree from a forest hath one cut ,
Work of the hands of an artificer ,
with an axe ,
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:4 @
With silver and with gold they beautify it ,
With nails and with hammers they fix it ,
And it doth not stumble .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:5 @
As a palm they [
are ]
stiff ,
and they speak not ,
They are surely borne ,
for they step not ,
Be not afraid of them ,
for they do no evil ,
Yea ,
also to do good is not in them .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:6 @
Because there is none like Thee ,
O Jehovah ,
Great [
art ]
Thou ,
and great Thy name in might .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:7 @
Who doth not fear Thee ,
king of the nations ?
For to Thee it is becoming ,
For among all the wise of the nations ,
And in all their kingdom there is none like Thee .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:8 @
And in one they are brutish and foolish ,
An instruction of vanities [
is ]
the tree itself .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:9 @
Spread-out silver from Tarshish is brought ,
And gold from Uphaz ,
Work of an artizan ,
and of the hands of a refiner ,
Blue and purple [
is ]
their clothing ,
Work of the skilful --
all of them .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:10 @
And Jehovah [
is ]
a God of truth ,
He [
is ]
a living God ,
and a king age-during ,
From His wrath shake doth the earth ,
And nations endure not His indignation .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:11 @
Thus do ye say to them ,
The gods Who the heavens and earth have not made ,
They do perish from the earth ,
And from under these heavens .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:12 @
The maker of the earth by His power ,
The establisher of the world by His wisdom ,
Who ,
by His understanding ,
stretched forth the heavens ,
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:13 @
At the voice He giveth forth ,
A multitude of waters [
is ]
in the heavens ,
And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth ,
Lightnings for rain He hath made ,
And bringeth out wind from His treasures .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:14 @
Brutish is every man by knowledge ,
Put to shame is every refiner by a graven image ,
For false [
is ]
his molten image .
And there is no breath in them .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:15 @
Vanity [
are ]
they ,
work of erring ones ,
In the time of their inspection they perish .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:16 @
Not like these [
is ]
the Portion of Jacob ,
For framer of all things [
is ]
He ,
And Israel [
is ]
the rod of His inheritance ,
Jehovah of Hosts [
is ]
His name .

Jeremiah:10:17 @
Gather from the land thy merchandise ,
O dweller in the bulwark ,
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:18 @
For thus said Jehovah :
Lo ,
I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time ,
And have been an adversary to them ,
So that they are found out .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:19 @
Wo to me for my breaking ,
Grievious hath been my smiting ,
And I said ,
Only ,
this [
is ]
my sickness ,
and I bear it .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:20 @
My tent hath been spoiled ,
And all my cords have been broken ,
My sons have gone out from me ,
and they are not ,
There is none stretching out any more my tent ,
And raising up my curtains .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:21 @
For the shepherds have become brutish ,
And Jehovah they have not sought ,
Therefore they have not acted wisely ,
And all their flock is scattered .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:22 @
A voice of a report ,
lo ,
it hath come ,
Even a great shaking from the north country ,
To make the cities of Judah a desolation ,
A habitation of dragons .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:23 @
I have known ,
O Jehovah ,
that not of man [
is ]
his way ,
Not of man the going and establishing of his step .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:24 @
Chastise me ,
O Jehovah ,
only in judgment ,
Not in Thine anger ,
lest Thou make me small .
ylt @
Jeremiah:10:25 @
Pour out Thy fury on the nations that have not known Thee ,
And on the families that have not called in Thy name ,
For they have eaten up Jacob ,
Yea ,
they have eaten him up ,
yea ,
they consume him ,
And his habitation they have made desolate !
