Jeremiah 10:1-5
Yahweh Alone Is the Living God
10Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2Thus says Yahweh, “aDo not learn the way of the nations,And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavensAlthough the nations are terrified by them;
3For the statutes of the peoples are avanityBecause bit is wood cut from the forest,The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.4“They amake it beautiful with silver and with gold;They bstrengthen it with nails and with hammersSo that it will not totter.5“Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they,And they acannot speak;They must be bcarriedBecause they cannot take a step!Do not fear them,For they ccan do no harm,Nor can they do any good.”
