Jeremiah 10:1-4

Complete Jewish Bible

10 Hear the word Adonai speaks to you,
house of Isra’el!
² Here is what Adonai says:
“Don’t learn the way of the Goyim,
don’t be frightened by astrological signs,
even if the Goyim are afraid of them;
³ for the customs of the peoples are nothing.
They cut down a tree in the forest;
a craftsman works it with his axe;
⁴ they deck it with silver and gold.
They fix it with hammer and nails,
so that it won’t move.
