Jeremiah:10:1-16
updv@Jeremiah:10:1 @ Hear(note:){+}(:note) the word which Yahweh speaks to you{+}, O house of Israel:
updv@Jeremiah:10:2 @ thus says Yahweh, Don't learn the way of the nations, and don't be dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
updv@Jeremiah:10:3 @ For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
updv@Jeremiah:10:4 @ They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it will not move.
updv@Jeremiah:10:5 @ They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and don't speak: they must surely be borne, because they can't go. Don't be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
updv@Jeremiah:10:6 @ There is none like you, O Yahweh; you are great, and your name is great in might.
updv@Jeremiah:10:7 @ Who should not fear you, O King of the nations? For to you does it appertain; since among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.
updv@Jeremiah:10:8 @ But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! It is but a stock.
updv@Jeremiah:10:9 @ There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men.
updv@Jeremiah:10:10 @ But Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to endure his indignation.
updv@Jeremiah:10:11 @ Thus you(note:){+}(:note) will say to them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
updv@Jeremiah:10:12 @ He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he has stretched out the heavens:
updv@Jeremiah:10:13 @ when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
updv@Jeremiah:10:14 @ All of man has become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
updv@Jeremiah:10:15 @ They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they will perish.
updv@Jeremiah:10:16 @ The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of hosts is his name.
