Jeremiah 10:3
Berean Standard Bible
For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman.
Context
1Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2This is what the LORD says:
“Do not learn the ways of the nations
or be terrified by the signs in the heavens,
though the nations themselves are terrified by them. 3For the customs of the peoples are worthless;
they cut down a tree from the forest;
it is shaped with a chisel
by the hands of a craftsman. 4They adorn it with silver and gold
and fasten it with hammer and nails,
so that it will not totter. 5Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch,
their idols cannot speak.
They must be carried
because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them, for they can do no harm,
and neither can they do any good.”
