(A)Who would not fear You, O (B)King of the nations?
Indeed it is Your due!
For among all the (C)wise men of the nations
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.
But they are altogether (D)senseless and foolish;
They are in a discipline of [a]vanities—it is mere wood!
Beaten (E)silver is brought from (F)Tarshish,
And (G)gold from Uphaz,
The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith;
Blue and purple are their clothing;
They are all the (H)work of wise craftsmen.

  1. Jeremiah 10:8 Or idols

Who should not fear(A) you,
    King of the nations?(B)
    This is your due.
Among all the wise leaders of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms,
    there is no one like you.

They are all senseless(C) and foolish;(D)
    they are taught by worthless wooden idols.(E)
Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish(F)
    and gold from Uphaz.
What the craftsman and goldsmith have made(G)
    is then dressed in blue and purple—
    all made by skilled workers.
