Jeremiah 10-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
False Gods Contrasted with the Creator
10 Hear the word that the Lord has spoken to[a] you, house of Israel. 2 This is what the Lord says:
Do not learn the way of the nations(A)
or be terrified by signs in the heavens,
although the nations are terrified by them,
3 for the customs of the peoples are worthless.
Someone cuts down a tree from the forest;
it is worked by the hands of a craftsman with a chisel.
4 He decorates it with silver and gold.(B)
It is fastened with hammer and nails,(C)
so it won’t totter.
5 Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch,
their idols cannot speak.(D)
They must be carried(E) because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them for they can do no harm(F)—
and they cannot do any good.(G)
6 Yahweh, there is no one like You.(H)
You are great;
Your name is great in power.(I)
7 Who should not fear You,
King of the nations?(J)
It is what You deserve.
For among all the wise people of the nations
and among all their kingdoms,
there is no one like You.
8 They are both stupid and foolish,
instructed by worthless idols
made of wood!
9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,(K)
and gold from Uphaz[b](L)
from the hands of a goldsmith,
the work of a craftsman.
Their clothing is blue and purple,
all the work of skilled artisans.
10 But Yahweh is the true God;(M)
He is the living God(N) and eternal King.(O)
The earth quakes at His wrath,(P)
and the nations cannot endure His rage.
11 You are to say this to them, “The gods that did not make the heavens(Q) and the earth will perish from the earth(R) and from under these heavens.”[c]
12 He made the earth by His power,
established the world(S) by His wisdom,(T)
and spread out the heavens by His understanding.(U)
13 When He thunders,[d]
the waters in the heavens are in turmoil,(V)
and He causes the clouds to rise
from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
and brings the wind from His storehouses.(W)
14 Everyone is stupid and ignorant.
Every goldsmith is put to shame
by his carved image,(X)
for his cast images are a lie;(Y)
there is no breath in them.(Z)
15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked.
At the time of their punishment
they will be destroyed.(AA)
16 Jacob’s Portion[e] is not like these
because He is the One who formed all things.(AB)
Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;(AC)
Yahweh of Hosts is His name.(AD)
Exile After the Siege
18 For this is what the Lord says:
Look, I am slinging out(AF)
the land’s residents at this time
and bringing them such distress
that they will feel it.
Jeremiah Grieves
19 Woe to me because of my brokenness—
I am severely wounded!(AG)
I exclaimed, “This is my intense suffering,
but I must bear it.”
20 My tent is destroyed;(AH)
all my tent cords are snapped.
My sons have departed from me and are no more.
I have no one to pitch my tent again
or to hang up my curtains.
21 For the shepherds are stupid:
they don’t seek the Lord.(AI)
Therefore they have not prospered,
and their whole flock is scattered.
22 Listen! A noise—it is coming—
a great commotion(AJ) from the land to the north.
The cities of Judah will be made desolate,
a jackals’ den.(AK)
23 I know, Lord,
that a man’s way of life is not his own;
no one who walks determines his own steps.(AL)
24 Discipline me, Lord, but with justice—
not in Your anger,(AM)
or You will reduce me to nothing.
25 Pour out Your wrath on the nations
that don’t recognize You
and on the families
that don’t call on Your name,
for they have consumed Jacob;
they have consumed him and finished him off
and made his homeland desolate.(AN)
Reminder of the Covenant
11 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Listen to the words of this covenant(AO) and tell them to the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem. 3 You must tell them: This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let a curse be on the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,(AP) 4 which I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt,(AQ) out of the iron furnace.’(AR) I declared: ‘Obey Me, and do everything that I command you, and you will be My people, and I will be your God,’(AS) 5 in order to establish the oath I swore to your ancestors,(AT) to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is today.”
I answered, “Amen, Lord.”(AU)
6 The Lord said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Obey the words of this covenant and carry them out. 7 For I strongly warned your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt until today, warning them time and time again,[g](AV) ‘Obey My voice.’ 8 Yet they would not obey or pay attention; each one followed the stubbornness of his evil heart.(AW) So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant, because they had not done what I commanded them to do.”
9 The Lord said to me, “A conspiracy has been discovered among the men of Judah(AX) and the residents of Jerusalem. 10 They have returned to the sins of their ancestors(AY) who refused to obey My words and have followed other gods to worship them.(AZ) The house of Israel and the house of Judah broke My covenant I made with their ancestors.
11 “Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring on them disaster that they cannot escape.(BA) They will cry out to Me, but I will not hear them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods they have been burning incense to, but they certainly will not save them in their time of disaster.(BB) 13 Your gods are indeed as numerous as your cities, Judah,(BC) and the altars you have set up to Shame[h](BD)—altars to burn incense to Baal—as numerous as the streets of Jerusalem.
14 “As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf,(BE) for I will not be listening when they call out to Me at the time of their disaster.
15 What right does My beloved have
to be in My house,(BF)
having carried out so many evil schemes?
Can holy meat[i](BG) prevent your disaster[j]
so you can rejoice?
16 The Lord named you
a flourishing olive tree,(BH)
beautiful with well-formed fruit.
He has set fire to it,
and its branches are consumed[k](BI)
with a great roaring sound.(BJ)
17 “The Lord of Hosts who planted you(BK) has decreed disaster against you, because of the harm the house of Israel and the house of Judah brought on themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”
18 The Lord informed me, so I knew.
Then You helped me to see their deeds,
19 for I was like a docile[l] lamb led to slaughter.(BL)
I didn’t know that they had devised plots against me:
“Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit;[m]
let’s cut him off from the land of the living(BM)
so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
20 But, Lord of Hosts, who judges righteously,
who tests(BN) heart[n] and mind,(BO)
let me see Your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to You.(BP)
21 Therefore, here is what the Lord says concerning the people of Anathoth(BQ) who want to take your life. They warn, “You must not prophesy in the name of Yahweh, or you will certainly die at our hand.” 22 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Hosts says: “I am about to punish them. The young men will die by the sword; their sons and daughters will die by famine.(BR) 23 They will have no remnant, for I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth(BS) in the year of their punishment.”

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)
The Covenant Is Broken
11 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Listen to the terms of this covenant(BL) and tell them to the people of Judah and to those who live in Jerusalem. 3 Tell them that this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Cursed(BM) is the one who does not obey the terms of this covenant— 4 the terms I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt,(BN) out of the iron-smelting furnace.(BO)’ I said, ‘Obey(BP) me and do everything I command you, and you will be my people,(BQ) and I will be your God. 5 Then I will fulfill the oath I swore(BR) to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey’(BS)—the land you possess today.”
I answered, “Amen,(BT) Lord.”
6 The Lord said to me, “Proclaim(BU) all these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: ‘Listen to the terms of this covenant and follow(BV) them. 7 From the time I brought your ancestors up from Egypt until today, I warned them again and again,(BW) saying, “Obey me.” 8 But they did not listen or pay attention;(BX) instead, they followed the stubbornness of their evil hearts.(BY) So I brought on them all the curses(BZ) of the covenant I had commanded them to follow but that they did not keep.(CA)’”
9 Then the Lord said to me, “There is a conspiracy(CB) among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem. 10 They have returned to the sins of their ancestors,(CC) who refused to listen to my words.(CD) They have followed other gods(CE) to serve them.(CF) Both Israel and Judah have broken the covenant(CG) I made with their ancestors. 11 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I will bring on them a disaster(CH) they cannot escape.(CI) Although they cry(CJ) out to me, I will not listen(CK) to them. 12 The towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they burn incense,(CL) but they will not help them at all when disaster(CM) strikes. 13 You, Judah, have as many gods(CN) as you have towns;(CO) and the altars you have set up to burn incense(CP) to that shameful(CQ) god Baal are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’
14 “Do not pray(CR) for this people or offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen(CS) when they call to me in the time of their distress.
15 “What is my beloved doing in my temple
as she, with many others, works out her evil schemes?
Can consecrated meat(CT) avert your punishment?(CU)
When you engage in your wickedness,
then you rejoice.[b]”
16 The Lord called you a thriving olive tree(CV)
with fruit beautiful in form.
But with the roar of a mighty storm
he will set it on fire,(CW)
and its branches will be broken.(CX)
17 The Lord Almighty, who planted(CY) you, has decreed disaster(CZ) for you, because the people of both Israel and Judah have done evil and aroused(DA) my anger by burning incense to Baal.(DB)
Plot Against Jeremiah
18 Because the Lord revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing. 19 I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter;(DC) I did not realize that they had plotted(DD) against me, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree and its fruit;
let us cut him off from the land of the living,(DE)
that his name be remembered(DF) no more.”
20 But you, Lord Almighty, who judge righteously(DG)
and test the heart(DH) and mind,(DI)
let me see your vengeance(DJ) on them,
for to you I have committed my cause.
21 Therefore this is what the Lord says about the people of Anathoth(DK) who are threatening to kill you,(DL) saying, “Do not prophesy(DM) in the name of the Lord or you will die(DN) by our hands”— 22 therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will punish them. Their young men(DO) will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine. 23 Not even a remnant(DP) will be left to them, because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.(DQ)”

Christ in Your Home
18 Wives, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.(A)
19 Husbands,(B) love your wives(C) and don’t be bitter(D) toward them.
20 Children,(E) obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers,(F) do not exasperate(G) your children, so they won’t become discouraged.
22 Slaves, obey your human(H) masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.(I)
23 Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically,[a] as something done for the Lord and not for men,(J) 24 knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer(K) will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.
4 Masters,(L) supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.
Speaking to God and Others
2 Devote yourselves(M) to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door(N) to us for the message, to speak the mystery of the Messiah,(O) for which I am in prison,(P) 4 so that I may reveal it as I am required to speak. 5 Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.(Q) 6 Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt,(R) so that you may know how you should answer each person.(S)
Christian Greetings
7 Tychicus,(T) our dearly loved brother, faithful(U) servant, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me. 8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are[b] and so that he may encourage(V) your hearts.(W) 9 He is with Onesimus,(X) a faithful and dearly loved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as does Mark,(Y) Barnabas’s(Z) cousin (concerning whom you have received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of the circumcision are my coworkers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras,(AA) who is one of you, a slave of Christ Jesus, greets you. He is always contending(AB) for you in his prayers, so that you can stand mature and fully assured[c] in everything God wills.(AC) 13 For I testify about him that he works hard[d](AD) for you, for those in Laodicea,(AE) and for those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the dearly loved physician, and Demas(AF) greet you. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her home.(AG) 16 When this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 17 And tell Archippus,(AH) “Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it.”(AI)
18 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my imprisonment.(AJ) Grace be with you.[e](AK)

56 But they rebelliously tested the Most High God,

and provoked His jealousy with their carved images.(C)
59 God heard and became furious;
He completely rejected Israel.(D)
60 He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,
the tent where He resided among men.[a](E)

and His splendor to the hand of a foe.(F)
62 He surrendered His people to the sword
because He was enraged with His heritage.(G)
63 Fire consumed His chosen young men,
and His young women had no wedding songs.[c](H)

like a warrior from the effects of wine.(J)
66 He beat back His foes;

67 He rejected the tent of Joseph

with skillful hands he led them.
