Jeremiah 10:3-5

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)_.

Jeremiah 10:11-12

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>_.

Jeremiah 10:14-15

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)_.
