Ɛte sɛ kaakaammotobi a ɛsi ɛferɛ mfikyifuo mu, wɔn ahoni no ntumi nkasa; ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa wɔn ɛfiri sɛ wɔntumi nnante. Monnsuro wɔn; wɔrentumi nha mo na wɔrentumi nyɛ adepa biara nso.”
Jeremiah 10:5 in English
Jeremiah 10:5 · Berean Standard Bible
Like 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.”
