Jeremiah 10:14-16
New International Version
Jeremiah 10:14-16
New International Version
14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed(A) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(B)
they have no breath in them.
15 They are worthless,(C) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16 He who is the Portion(D) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,(E)
including Israel, the people of his inheritance(F)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.(G)

Jeremiah 10:14-16
International Standard Version
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.
