JER-10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O
house of Israel:
JER-10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen,
and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are
dismayed at them.
JER-10:3 For the customs of the people [are] vain: for [one]
cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the
workman, with the ax.
JER-10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it
with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
JER-10:5 They [are] upright as the palm tree, but speak not:
they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid
of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also [is it] in them
to do good.
JER-10:6 Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD;
thou [art] great, and thy name [is] great in might.
JER-10:7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee
doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise [men] of the
nations, and in all their kingdoms, [there is] none like unto
thee.
JER-10:8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock
[is] a doctrine of vanities.
JER-10:9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and
gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of
the founder: blue and purple [is] their clothing: they [are] all
the work of cunning [men].
JER-10:10 But the LORD [is] the true God, he [is] the living God,
and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble,
and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
JER-10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not
made the heavens and the earth, [even] they shall perish from
the earth, and from under these heavens.
JER-10:12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath
established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the
heavens by his discretion.
JER-10:13 When he uttereth his voice, [there is] a multitude of
waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from
the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and
bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
JER-10:14 Every man is brutish in [his] knowledge: every founder
is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is]
falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them.
JER-10:15 They [are] vanity, [and] the work of errors: in the
time of their visitation they shall perish.
JER-10:16 The portion of Jacob [is] not like them: for he [is]
the former of all [things]; and Israel [is] the rod of his
inheritance: The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
JER-10:17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of
the fortress.
JER-10:18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the
inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them,
that they may find [it so].
JER-10:19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I
said, Truly this [is] a grief, and I must bear it.
JER-10:20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken:
my children are gone forth of me, and they [are] not: [there is]
none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my
curtains.
JER-10:21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not
sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their
flocks shall be scattered.
JER-10:22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great
commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah
desolate, [and] a den of dragons.
JER-10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself:
[it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
JER-10:24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine
anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
JER-10:25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not,
and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have
eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have
made his habitation desolate.
