Jeremiah 10:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ All the people of the other nations are stupid and foolish.
    Their teachings come from worthless wooden statues.
⁹ They use silver from the city of Tarshish
    and gold from the city of Uphaz and make their statues.
Carpenters and metalworkers make the idols.
    They put blue and purple clothes on them.
    “Wise men” make these “gods.”
¹⁰ But the Lord is the only true God.
    He is the only God who is alive.
    He is the King who rules forever.
The earth shakes when he is angry.
    The people of the nations cannot stop his anger.
