Jeremiah 10:4; Jeremiah 10:9; Jeremiah 10:14

4 "They decorate it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter.

9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith; Violet and purple are their clothing; They are all the work of skilled men.

14 Every man is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols; For his molten images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them.
