Jeremiah:10:3-9

* For the customs of the people are vain : for one cutteth a tree out of the forest ya #ar #, the work of the hands of the workman , with the axe ma #atsad #. * They deck it with silver and with gold ; they fasten it with nails and with hammers , that it move not . * They are upright as the palm tree , but speak not : they must needs be borne , because they cannot go . Be not afraid of them ; for they cannot do evil , neither also is it in them to do good . * Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee , O LORD ; thou art great , and thy name is great in might . * Who would not fear thee , O King of nations ? for to thee doth it appertain : forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations , and in all their kingdoms , there is none like unto thee . * But they are altogether brutish and foolish : the stock is a doctrine of vanities . * Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish , and gold from Uphaz , the work of the workman , and of the hands of the founder : blue and purple is their clothing : they are all the work of cunning men .
