Jeremiah:10:3-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the customs of the people are vain :
for one cutteth a tree out of the forest ,
the work of the hands of the workman ,
with the axe .
*
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 .
