Jeremiah 10:3-6 yea all the customes and lawes of the Gentiles are nothinge, but vanite. They hewe doune a tree in the wood with the handes of the worcke man, and fashyon it with the axe:

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ yea all the customes and lawes of the Gentiles are nothinge, but vanite. They hewe doune a tree in the wood with the handes of the worcke man, and fashyon it with the axe: ⁴ they couer it ouer with gold or siluer, they fasten it with nayles and hammers, that it moue not. ⁵ It standeth as styfe as the palmetree, it can not neyther speake nor go, but must be borne. Be not ye afrayed of suche, for they can do neyther good nor euill. ⁶ But there is none lyke vnto the, O Lorde, & great is the name of thy power.
