Jeremiah 10:2-4
Modern English Version
2 Thus says the Lord:
Do not learn the way of the nations;
do not be terrified at the signs of heaven,
although the nations are terrified at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain;
for with the axe one cuts a tree out of the forest,
the work of the hands of the workman.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold;
they fasten it with nails and with hammers
so that it may not move.
Jeremiah 10:2-4
New King James Version
2 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the peoples are [a]futile;
For (B)one cuts a tree from the forest,
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4 They decorate it with silver and gold;
They (C)fasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.

Reina-Valera 1960
2 Así dijo Jehová: No aprendáis el camino de las naciones, ni de las señales del cielo tengáis temor, aunque las naciones las teman. 3 Porque las costumbres de los pueblos son vanidad; porque leño del bosque cortaron, obra de manos de artífice con buril. 4 Con plata y oro lo adornan; con clavos y martillo lo afirman para que no se mueva.
