Jeremiah 10:1-5

Names of God Bible

Don’t learn the practices of the nations.
    Don’t be frightened by the signs in the sky
    because the nations are frightened by them.
³ The religion of the people is worthless.
    Woodcutters cut down trees from the forest.
        The hands of craftsmen prepare them with axes.
⁴         Craftsmen decorate them with silver and gold
            and fasten them together with hammers and nails
                so that they won’t fall over.
⁵ These trees are like scarecrows in cucumber gardens.
    They aren’t able to speak.
    They have to be carried, because they can’t walk.
    Don’t be afraid of them.
    They can’t harm you.
    They can’t do you any good either.
