Jeremiah 10:4 in context
- 2thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
- 3For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
- 4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
- 5They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
- 6There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
