Jeremiah 10:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 Every person is (A)stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
For his cast metal images are deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.
15 They are (B)worthless, a work of mockery;
At the (C)time of their punishment they will perish.
16 The (D)Portion of Jacob is not like these;
For He is the [a](E)Maker of everything,
And (F)Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
The (G)Lord of armies is His name.

Jeremiah 10:14-16
New Living Translation
14 The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge!
The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make,
for their carefully shaped works are a fraud.
These idols have no breath or power.
15 Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!
On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.
16 But the God of Israel[a] is no idol!
He is the Creator of everything that exists,
including Israel, his own special possession.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
Jeremiah 10:14-16
New International Version
14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed(A) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(B)
they have no breath in them.
15 They are worthless,(C) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16 He who is the Portion(D) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,(E)
including Israel, the people of his inheritance(F)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.(G)
