Jeremiah 10:1-5

Jeremiah 10:1-5 LSB

Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, O house of Israel. Thus says Yahweh, “Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens Although the nations are terrified by them; For the statutes of the peoples are vanity Because it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. “They make it beautiful with silver and with gold; They strengthen it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter. “Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they, And they cannot speak; They must be carried Because they cannot take a step! Do not fear them, For they can do no harm, Nor can they do any good.”
