Jeremiah 10:1 In-Context

1 Hear the word that Yahweh speaks to you, [O] house of Israel.

2 Thus says Yahweh: "You must not learn the way of the nations, and you must not be dismayed by the signs of the heavens, for the nations are dismayed by them.

3 For the statutes of the peoples [are] vanity, for it [is] a tree cut down from [the] forest, [the] work of [the] hands of a craftsman with the tool.

4 He decorates it with silver and gold, they strengthen it with nails and hammers, so that it does not stagger.

5 They [are] like scarecrows in a cucumber field, they cannot speak. Indeed, they must be carried, for they cannot march. You must not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil; furthermore, to do good [is] not in them."
