Jeremiah - ch 10 v 1 - 20

  1. Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel!
  2. Thus says Yahweh, "Don't learn the way of the nations, and don't be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
  3. For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
  4. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.
  5. They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don't speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Don't be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
  6. There is none like you, Yahweh; you are great, and your name is great in might.
  7. Who should not fear you, King of the nations? for to you does it appertain; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.
  8. But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.
  9. There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men.
  10. But Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.
  11. You shall say this to them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
  12. He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:
  13. when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
  14. Every man is become brutish and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
  15. They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
  16. The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Armies is his name.
  17. Gather up your wares out of the land, you who abide in the siege.
  18. For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.
  19. Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.
  20. My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
