Jeremiah 10:3-8 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For a tree from a forest has one cut, Work of the hands of an artificer, with an axe,

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For a tree from a forest has one cut, Work of the hands of an artificer, with an axe, ⁴ With silver and with gold they beautify it, With nails and with hammers they fix it, And it does not stumble." ⁵ As a palm they [are] stiff, and they speak not, They are surely borne, for they step not, Be not afraid of them, for they do no evil, Yea, also to do good is not in them." ⁶ Because there is none like You, O Yahweh, Great [are] You, and great Your name in might." ⁷ Who does not fear You, king of the nations? For to You it is becoming, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom there is none like You." ⁸ And in one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is] the tree itself."
