New King James Version
10 But the Lord is the true God;
He is (A)the living God and the (B)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: (C)“The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth (D)shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”
12 He (E)has made the earth by His power,
He has (F)established the world by His wisdom,
And (G)has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.
Jeremiah 10:3-5
New King James Version
3 For the customs of the peoples are [a]futile;
For (A)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 (B)fasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.
5 They are upright, like a palm tree,
And (C)they cannot speak;
They must be (D)carried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For (E)they cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.”

15 (A)The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.

So is everyone who trusts in them.

New King James Version
13 Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? (A)Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their lands out of my hand? 14 Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my (B)hand? 15 Now therefore, (C)do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?’ ”
