Jeremiah 10:14-16

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴Every person is ^(A)stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
For his cast metal images are deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.
¹⁵They are ^(B)worthless, a work of mockery;
At the ^(C)time of their punishment they will perish.
¹⁶The ^(D)Portion of Jacob is not like these;
For He is the ^[a]^(E)Maker of everything,
And ^(F)Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
The ^(G)Lord of armies is His name.
