  1. Jeremiah 10:11 The text of this verse is in Aramaic.

For the customs of the peoples are false:
a tree from the forest is cut down
    and worked with an ax by the hands of an artisan;(A)
they deck it with silver and gold;
    they fasten it with hammers and nails
    so that it cannot move.(B)
Their idols[a] are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
    and they cannot speak;
they have to be carried,
    for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
    for they cannot do evil,
    nor is it in them to do good.(C)
