Jeremiah 10:3-9

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}
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.
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)_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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].

Jeremiah 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}
