Jeremiah 10:3 DBY

¹  Hear the word that Jehovah speaketh unto you, house of Israel.

²  Thus saith Jehovah: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of the heavens; for the nations are dismayed at them.

³  For the statutes of the peoples are vanity; for [it is] a tree cut out of the forest, worked with a chisel by the hands of the artizan;

⁴  they deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

⁵  They are as a palm-column of turned work, and they speak not; they are carried, for they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
