Jeremiah 10:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 Everyone is stupid and without knowledge;
goldsmiths are all put to shame by their idols,
for their images are false,
and there is no breath in them.(A)
15 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the one who formed all things,
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
the Lord of hosts is his name.(B)

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.

and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance.
The Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name.
