Jeremiah 10:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 Every 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.
15 They are (B)worthless, a work of mockery;
At the (C)time of their punishment they will perish.
16 The (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.

Jeremiah 10:14-16
New Living Translation
14 The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge!
The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make,
for their carefully shaped works are a fraud.
These idols have no breath or power.
15 Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!
On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.
16 But the God of Israel[a] is no idol!
He is the Creator of everything that exists,
including Israel, his own special possession.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
