Jeremiah 10:2-4
English Standard Version

“Learn not the way of the nations,
nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens
because the nations are dismayed at them,
3 (A)for the customs of the peoples are vanity.[a]
(B)A tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 (C)They decorate it with silver and gold;
(D)they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.

Jeremiah 10:2-4
New International Version
2 This is what the Lord says:
“Do not learn the ways of the nations(A)
or be terrified by signs(B) 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(C) shapes it with his chisel.(D)
4 They adorn it with silver(E) and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.(F)
