Jeremiah 10:3-6 For the statutes of these people concern what is vanity; for it is but a tree which a man hath cut out of a forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For the statutes of these people concern what is vanity; for it is but a tree which a man hath cut out of a forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. ⁴ With silver and with gold do they ornament it; with nails and with hammers do they fasten it, that it move not from its place. ⁵ As a wrought-out palm-like column are they, and cannot speak; they must needs be borne, because they cannot step along. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do any harm, so also to do any good is not in them. ⁶ Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord: thou alone art great, and great is thy name in might.
