Jeremiah 10:3-5

Darby Translation

³ For the statutes of the peoples are vanity; for [it is] a tree cut out of the forest, worked with a chisel by the hands of the artizan;

⁴ they deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

⁵ They are as a palm-column of turned work, and they speak not; they are carried, for they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
