우상과 하나님
10 이스라엘 백성들아, 여호와께서 너희에게 하시는 말씀을 들어라.
2 여호와께서 이렇게 말씀하신다. “너희는 이방 민족의 길을 따르지 말아라. 이방 민족이 하늘의 징조를 보고 두려워하여도 너희는 두려워하지 말아라.
3 이방 나라의 풍습은 헛된 것이다. 그들은 숲에서 나무를 베어 목공의 도구로 다듬어서
4 거기에 은과 금으로 장식하고 그것을 못과 망치로 고정시킨다.
5 그들이 이렇게 해서 만든 우상은 [a]들판의 허수아비처럼 말도 못하고 걸어다니지도 못하므로 사람이 운반해 주어야 한다. 너희는 그런 것을 두려워하지 말아라. 그것은 화를 주거나 복을 주지 못한다.”
6 여호와여, 주와 같은 자가 없습니다. 주는 위대하시고 주의 이름 또한 놀랍습니다.
7 온 세계의 왕이시여, 주를 두려워하지 않을 자가 누구이겠습니까? 주를 두려운 마음으로 섬기는 것은 당연한 일입니다. 온 세상의 지혜로운 자들과 왕들 중에 주와 같은 자가 없습니다.
8 그들은 다 무식하고 어리석어서 우상의 가르침을 받으려고 하나 사실 우상은 나무에 불과합니다.
9 그들은 [b]스페인에서 가져온 은과 우바스에서 가져온 금을 기능공들에게 주어 그것으로 우상을 꾸미고 청색 옷과 자색 옷을 만들어 입히게 했습니다.
10 그러나 여호와여, 주는 참 하나님이시며 살아 계신 하나님이시요 영원한 왕이십니다. 주께서 분노하시면 땅이 진동하고 온 세상이 견딜 수 없습니다.
11 “너희는 다른 신을 섬기는 자들에게 이렇게 말하라. ‘하늘과 땅을 만들지 않은 이 신들은 지상에서, 하늘 아래서 망할 것이다.’ ”
12 여호와께서 그의 능력으로 땅을 지으셨고 지혜로 세계를 건설하셨으며 총명으로 하늘을 펼쳐 놓으셨다.
13 그가 큰 소리를 내시면 하늘의 물이 소용돌이친다. 그는 [c]지상에서 수증기를 증발하게 하시고 비와 함께 번개를 보내시며 그의 창고에서 바람을 일으키신다.
14 사람들이 다 어리석고 무식하구나. 우상을 만드는 금세공업자들이 수치를 당하지 않을 수 없으니 그들이 주조해서 만든 신상은 거짓되고 그 안에 생명이 없기 때문이다.
15 그것들은 다 무가치하고 경멸의 대상이므로 여호와께서 벌하실 때에 다 멸망할 것들이다.
16 야곱의 하나님은 그런 우상들과 같지 않다. 그는 모든 것을 창조하시고 이스라엘을 택하여 자기 백성으로 삼으신 분이시니 그의 이름은 전능하신 여호와이시다.
임박한 유다의 멸망
17 포위당한 자들아, 너희는 짐을 꾸려라.
18 여호와께서 이렇게 말씀하신다. “이번에는 내가 이 땅에 사는 자들을 내던지고 그들에게 큰 고통을 주어 깨닫게 하겠다.”
19 아아! 슬프다, 나의 상처여. 내가 심한 상처를 입었구나. 이것은 나의 고난이니 내가 참아야 하겠다.
20 나의 집이 파괴되고 그 모든 줄이 끊어졌으며 내 자녀들은 다 떠나고 없으니 내 집을 다시 세울 자가 없구나.
21 목자들은 미련하여 여호와를 찾지 않으므로 패망하고 그들의 모든 양떼는 흩어져 버렸다.
22 들어라! 북쪽 땅에서 큰 소동이 일어나고 있다. 그것이 유다 성들을 황폐하게 하여 이리의 소굴이 되게 할 것이다.
23 여호와여, 내가 알기에는 사람이 자신의 운명을 다스릴 수가 없고 삶의 방향을 마음대로 조정할 수도 없습니다.
24 여호와여, 나를 꾸짖되 너그럽게 하시며 주의 분노로 나를 벌하지 마소서. 그렇지 않으면 내가 죽게 될지도 모릅니다.
25 주를 알지 못하는 나라와 주의 이름을 부르지 않는 민족에게 주의 분노를 쏟으소서. 그들은 주의 백성을 집어삼키고 그 땅을 황폐하게 하였습니다.

Jeremiah 10
New International Version
God and Idols(A)
10 Hear what the Lord says to you, people of Israel. 2 This is what the Lord says:
“Do not learn the ways of the nations(B)
or be terrified by signs(C) in the heavens,
though the nations are terrified by them.
3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman(D) shapes it with his chisel.(E)
4 They adorn it with silver(F) and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.(G)
5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
their idols cannot speak;(H)
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.(I)
Do not fear them;
they can do no harm(J)
nor can they do any good.”(K)
6 No one is like you,(L) Lord;
you are great,(M)
and your name is mighty in power.
7 Who should not fear(N) you,
King of the nations?(O)
This is your due.
Among all the wise leaders of the nations
and in all their kingdoms,
there is no one like you.
8 They are all senseless(P) and foolish;(Q)
they are taught by worthless wooden idols.(R)
9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish(S)
and gold from Uphaz.
What the craftsman and goldsmith have made(T)
is then dressed in blue and purple—
all made by skilled workers.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
he is the living God,(U) the eternal King.(V)
When he is angry,(W) the earth trembles;(X)
the nations cannot endure his wrath.(Y)
11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish(Z) from the earth and from under the heavens.’”[a]
12 But God made(AA) the earth(AB) by his power;
he founded the world by his wisdom(AC)
and stretched out the heavens(AD) by his understanding.
13 When he thunders,(AE) the waters in the heavens roar;
he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning(AF) with the rain(AG)
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(AH)
14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed(AI) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(AJ)
they have no breath in them.
15 They are worthless,(AK) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16 He who is the Portion(AL) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,(AM)
including Israel, the people of his inheritance(AN)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.(AO)
Coming Destruction
17 Gather up your belongings(AP) to leave the land,
you who live under siege.
18 For this is what the Lord says:
“At this time I will hurl(AQ) out
those who live in this land;
I will bring distress(AR) on them
so that they may be captured.”
19 Woe to me because of my injury!
My wound(AS) is incurable!
Yet I said to myself,
“This is my sickness, and I must endure(AT) it.”
20 My tent(AU) is destroyed;
all its ropes are snapped.
My children are gone from me and are no more;(AV)
no one is left now to pitch my tent
or to set up my shelter.
21 The shepherds(AW) are senseless(AX)
and do not inquire of the Lord;(AY)
so they do not prosper(AZ)
and all their flock is scattered.(BA)
22 Listen! The report is coming—
a great commotion from the land of the north!(BB)
It will make the towns of Judah desolate,(BC)
a haunt of jackals.(BD)
Jeremiah’s Prayer
23 Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own;
it is not for them to direct their steps.(BE)
24 Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure—
not in your anger,(BF)
or you will reduce me to nothing.(BG)
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations(BH)
that do not acknowledge you,
on the peoples who do not call on your name.(BI)
For they have devoured(BJ) Jacob;
they have devoured him completely
and destroyed his homeland.(BK)

Idols and the Living God
10 Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus says the Lord:
“Learn not the way of the nations,
nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens
because the nations are dismayed at them,
3 (A)for the customs of the peoples are vanity.[a]
(B)A tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 (C)They decorate it with silver and gold;
(D)they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.
5 Their idols[b] are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
and (E)they cannot speak;
(F)they have to be carried,
for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
(G)for they cannot do evil,
neither is it in them to do good.”
6 (H)There is none like you, O Lord;
you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 (I)Who would not fear you, O King of the nations?
For this is your due;
for among all the wise ones of the nations
and in all their kingdoms
there is none like you.
8 (J)They are both (K)stupid and foolish;
the instruction of idols is but wood!
9 (L)Beaten silver is brought from (M)Tarshish,
and gold from (N)Uphaz.
(O)They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith;
their clothing is violet and purple;
(P)they are all the work of skilled men.
10 (Q)But the Lord is the true God;
(R)he is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
11 Thus shall you say to them: (S)“The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth (T)shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”[c]
12 (U)It is he who (V)made the earth by his power,
(W)who established the world by his wisdom,
and (X)by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
13 (Y)When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,
(Z)and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.
(AA)He makes lightning (AB)for the rain,
(AC)and he brings forth the wind (AD)from his storehouses.
14 (AE)Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
(AF)every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
(AG)and there is no breath in them.
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 Not like these is he who is (AH)the portion of Jacob,
for he is the one who formed all things,
(AI)and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
(AJ)the Lord of hosts is his name.
17 (AK)Gather up your bundle from the ground,
O you who dwell under siege!
18 For thus says the Lord:
(AL)“Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land
at this time,
(AM)and I will bring distress on them,
that they may feel it.”
19 Woe is me because of my hurt!
(AN)My wound is grievous.
But I said, “Truly this is an affliction,
and I must bear it.”
20 (AO)My tent is destroyed,
and all my cords are broken;
my children have gone from me,
(AP)and they are not;
there is no one to spread my tent again
and (AQ)to set up my curtains.
21 (AR)For the shepherds (AS)are stupid
and do not inquire of the Lord;
therefore they have not prospered,
(AT)and all their flock is scattered.
22 A voice, a rumor! Behold, it comes!—
(AU)a great commotion out of the north country
to make (AV)the cities of Judah a desolation,
(AW)a lair of jackals.
23 (AX)I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself,
that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 (AY)Correct me, O Lord, but in justice;
not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 (AZ)Pour out your wrath on the nations that know you not,
and on the peoples that call not on your name,
(BA)for they have devoured Jacob;
they have devoured him and consumed him,
and have laid waste his habitation.

Idols and the True God
10 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the peoples are [a]futile;
For (B)one cuts a tree from the forest,
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4 They decorate it with silver and gold;
They (C)fasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.
5 They are upright, like a palm tree,
And (D)they cannot speak;
They must be (E)carried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For (F)they cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.”
6 Inasmuch as there is none (G)like You, O Lord
(You are great, and Your name is great in might),
7 (H)Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?
For this is Your rightful due.
For (I)among all the wise men of the nations,
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.
8 But they are altogether (J)dull-hearted and foolish;
A wooden idol is a [b]worthless doctrine.
9 Silver is beaten into plates;
It is brought from Tarshish,
And (K)gold from Uphaz,
The work of the craftsman
And of the hands of the metalsmith;
Blue and purple are their clothing;
They are all (L)the work of skillful men.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
He is (M)the living God and the (N)everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.
11 Thus you shall say to them: (O)“The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth (P)shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”
12 He (Q)has made the earth by His power,
He has (R)established the world by His wisdom,
And (S)has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.
13 (T)When He utters His voice,
There is a [c]multitude of waters in the heavens:
(U)“And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.”
14 (V)Everyone is (W)dull-hearted, without knowledge;
(X)Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image;
(Y)For his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.
15 They are futile, a work of errors;
In the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 (Z)The Portion of Jacob is not like them,
For He is the Maker of all things,
And (AA)Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
(AB)The Lord of hosts is His name.
The Coming Captivity of Judah
18 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, I will (AD)throw out at this time
The inhabitants of the land,
And will distress them,
(AE)That they may find it so.”
19 (AF)Woe is me for my hurt!
My wound is severe.
But I say, (AG)“Truly this is an infirmity,
And (AH)I must bear it.”
20 (AI)My tent is plundered,
And all my cords are broken;
My children have gone from me,
And they are (AJ)no more.
There is no one to pitch my tent anymore,
Or set up my curtains.
21 For the shepherds have become dull-hearted,
And have not sought the Lord;
Therefore they shall not prosper,
And all their flocks shall be (AK)scattered.
22 Behold, the noise of the report has come,
And a great commotion out of the (AL)north country,
To make the cities of Judah desolate, a (AM)den of jackals.
23 O Lord, I know the (AN)way of man is not in himself;
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
24 O Lord, (AO)correct me, but with justice;
Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.
25 (AP)Pour out Your fury on the Gentiles, (AQ)who do not know You,
And on the families who do not call on Your name;
For they have eaten up Jacob,
(AR)Devoured him and consumed him,
And made his dwelling place desolate.
