Jeremiah 10:3-8

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}

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)_.
