Jeremiah 10:1 In-Context

1 People of Israel, listen to the message that the Lord has for you.

2 He says, "Do not follow the ways of other nations; do not be disturbed by unusual sights in the sky, even though other nations are terrified.

3 The religion of these people is worthless. A tree is cut down in the forest; it is carved by the tools of the woodworker

4 and decorated with silver and gold. It is fastened down with nails to keep it from falling over.

5 Such idols are like scarecrows in a field of melons; they cannot speak; they have to be carried because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them: they can cause you no harm, and they can do you no good."
