Jeremiah 10:14-16
Christian Standard Bible
14 Everyone is stupid and ignorant.
Every goldsmith is put to shame
by his carved image,(A)
for his cast images are a lie;(B)
there is no breath in them.(C)
15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked.
At the time of their punishment
they will be destroyed.(D)
16 Jacob’s Portion[a] is not like these
because he is the one who formed all things.(E)
Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;(F)
the Lord of Armies is his name.(G)

14 Everyone is stupid[a] and without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false.[b]
There is no life[c] in them.
15 They’re worthless, a work of mockery,
and when the time of punishment comes,[d]
they’ll perish.
16 The Portion of Jacob[e] is not like these.
He made everything,
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance.
The Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name.
