Jeremiah 10:1-3

New Century Version

The Lord and the Idols

10 Family of Israel, listen to what the Lord says to you. ²This is what he says:

“Don’t live like the people from other nations,
    and don’t be afraid of special signs in the sky,
    even though the other nations are afraid of them.
³The customs of other people are worth nothing.
    Their idols are just wood cut from the forest,
    shaped by a worker with his chisel.

New International Version

God and Idols^(A)

10 Hear what the Lord says to you, people of Israel. ²This 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.
³For 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)
