Jeremiah 10:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

10 Hear the word which the Lord
    speaks to you, O house of Israel. ² Thus says the Lord:
“Learn not the way of the nations,
    nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens
    because the nations are dismayed at them,
³ for the customs of the peoples are false.
A tree from the forest is cut down,
    and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
