Jeremiah 10:2-25

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>_.

10:12

He hath made
<06213> (8802)

the earth
<0776>

by his power
<03581>_,

he hath established
<03559> (8688)

the world
<08398>

by his wisdom
<02451>_,

and hath stretched out
<05186> (8804)

the heavens
<08064>

by his discretion
<08394>_.

10:13

When he uttereth
<05414> (8800)

his voice
<06963>_,

[there is] a multitude
<01995>

of waters
<04325>

in the heavens
<08064>_,

and he causeth the vapours
<05387>

to ascend
<05927> (8686)

from the ends
<07097>

of the earth
<0776>_;

he maketh
<06213> (8804)

lightnings
<01300>

with rain
<04306>_,

and bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)

the wind
<07307>

out of his treasures
<0214>_.

{multitude: or, noise} {with: or, for}

10:14

Every man
<0120>

is brutish
<01197> (8738)

in [his] knowledge
<01847>_:

every founder
<06884> (8802)

is confounded
<03001> (8689)

by the graven image
<06459>_:

for his molten image
<05262>

[is] falsehood
<08267>_,

and [there is] no breath
<07307>

in them. {brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know}

10:15

They [are] vanity
<01892>_,

[and] the work
<04639>

of errors
<08595>_:

in the time
<06256>

of their visitation
<06486>

they shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

10:16

The portion
<02506>

of Jacob
<03290>

[is] not like them: for he [is] the former
<03335> (8802)

of all [things]; and Israel
<03478>

[is] the rod
<07626>

of his inheritance
<05159>_:

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_.

10:17

Gather up
<0622> (8798)

thy wares
<03666>

out of the land
<0776>_,

O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of the fortress
<04692>_.

{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

10:18

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will sling
<07049> (8802)

out the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

at this once
<06471>_,

and will distress
<06887> (8689)

them, that they may find
<04672> (8799)

[it so].

10:19

Woe
<0188>

is me for my hurt
<07667>_!

my wound
<04347>

is grievous
<02470> (8737)_:

but I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Truly
<0389>

this [is] a grief
<02483>_,

and I must bear
<05375> (8799)

it.

10:20

My tabernacle
<0168>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,

and all my cords
<04340>

are broken
<05423> (8738)_:

my children
<01121>

are gone forth
<03318> (8804)

of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none to stretch forth
<05186> (8802)

my tent
<0168>

any more, and to set up
<06965> (8688)

my curtains
<03407>_.

10:21

For the pastors
<07462> (8802)

are become brutish
<01197> (8738)_,

and have not sought
<01875> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore they shall not prosper
<07919> (8689)_,

and all their flocks
<04830>

shall be scattered
<06327> (8738)_.

10:22

Behold, the noise
<06963>

of the bruit
<08052>

is come
<0935> (8802)_,

and a great
<01419>

commotion
<07494>

out of the north
<06828>

country
<0776>_,

to make
<07760> (8800)

the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

desolate
<08077>_,

[and] a den
<04583>

of dragons
<08577>_.

10:23

O LORD
<03068>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that the way
<01870>

of man
<0120>

[is] not in himself: [it is] not in man
<0376>

that walketh
<01980> (8802)

to direct
<03559> (8687)

his steps
<06806>_.

10:24

O LORD
<03068>_,

correct
<03256> (8761)

me, but with judgment
<04941>_;

not in thine anger
<0639>_,

lest thou bring me to nothing
<04591> (8686)_.

{bring...: Heb. diminish me}

10:25

Pour out
<08210> (8798)

thy fury
<02534>

upon the heathen
<01471>

that know
<03045> (8804)

thee not, and upon the families
<04940>

that call
<07121> (8804)

not on thy name
<08034>_:

for they have eaten up
<0398> (8804)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and devoured
<0398> (8804)

him, and consumed
<03615> (8762)

him, and have made his habitation
<05116>

desolate
<08074> (8689)_.
