Jeremiah 10:1-11

10:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

speaketh
<01696> (8765)

unto you, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_:

10:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Learn
<03925> (8799)

not the way
<01870>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

and be not dismayed
<02865> (8735)

at the signs
<0226>

of heaven
<08064>_;

for the heathen
<01471>

are dismayed
<02865> (8735)

at them
<01992>_.

10:3

For the customs
<02708>

of the people
<05971>

[are] vain
<01892>_:

for [one] cutteth
<03772> (8804)

a tree
<06086>

out of the forest
<03293>_,

the work
<04639>

of the hands
<03027>

of the workman
<02796>_,

with the axe
<04621>_.

{customs...: Heb. statutes, or, ordinances are vanity}

10:4

They deck
<03302> (8762)

it with silver
<03701>

and with gold
<02091>_;

they fasten
<02388> (8762)

it with nails
<04548>

and with hammers
<04717>_,

that it move
<06328> (8686)

not.

10:5

They [are] upright
<04749>

as the palm tree
<08560>_,

but speak
<01696> (8762)

not: they must needs
<05375> (8800)

be borne
<05375> (8735)_,

because they cannot go
<06805> (8799)_.

Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of them; for they cannot do evil
<07489> (8686)_,

neither also [is it] in them to do good
<03190> (8687)_.

10:6

Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD
<03068>_;

thou [art] great
<01419>_,

and thy name
<08034>

[is] great
<01419>

in might
<01369>_.

10:7

Who would not fear
<03372> (8799)

thee, O King
<04428>

of nations
<01471>_?

for to thee doth it appertain
<02969> (8804)_:

forasmuch as among all the wise
<02450>

[men] of the nations
<01471>_,

and in all their kingdoms
<04438>_,

[there is] none like unto thee. {to...: or, it liketh thee}

10:8

But they are altogether
<0259>

brutish
<01197> (8799)

and foolish
<03688> (8799)_:

the stock
<06086>

[is] a doctrine
<04148>

of vanities
<01892>_.

{altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once}

10:9

Silver
<03701>

spread into plates
<07554> (8794)

is brought
<0935> (8714)

from Tarshish
<08659>_,

and gold
<02091>

from Uphaz
<0210>_,

the work
<04639>

of the workman
<02796>_,

and of the hands
<03027>

of the founder
<06884> (8802)_:

blue
<08504>

and purple
<0713>

[is] their clothing
<03830>_:

they [are] all the work
<04639>

of cunning
<02450>

[men].

10:10

But the LORD
<03068>

[is] the true
<0571>

God
<0430>_,

he [is] the living
<02416>

God
<0430>_,

and an everlasting
<05769>

king
<04428>_:

at his wrath
<07110>

the earth
<0776>

shall tremble
<07493> (8799)_,

and the nations
<01471>

shall not be able to abide
<03557> (8686)

his indignation
<02195>_.

{true...: Heb. God of truth} {living God: Heb. living Gods} {everlasting...: Heb. king of eternity}

10:11

Thus
<01836>

shall ye say
<0560> (8748)

unto them, The gods
<0426>

that have not
<03809>

made
<05648> (8754)

the heavens
<08065>

and the earth
<0778>_,

[even] they shall perish
<07> (8748)

from the earth
<0772>_,

and from under
<08460>

these
<0429>

heavens
<08065>_.
