Jeremiah 10	Jeremiah 10

Jeremiah 10:2 This is what the Lord has said: Do not go in the way of the nations; have no fear of the signs of heaven, for the nations go in fear of them.

Jeremiah 10:3 For that which is feared by the people is foolish: it is the work of the hands of the workman; for a tree is cut down by him out of the woods with his axe.

Jeremiah 10:4 They make it beautiful with silver and gold; they make it strong with nails and hammers, so that it may not be moved.	Jeremiah 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jeremiah 10:5 It is like a pillar in a garden of plants, and has no voice: it has to be lifted, for it has no power of walking. Have no fear of it; for it has no power of doing evil and it is not able to do any good.	Jeremiah 10:5 They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
Jeremiah 10:6 There is no one like you, O Lord; you are great and your name is great in power.	Jeremiah 10:6 There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
Jeremiah 10:7 Who would not have fear of you, O King of the nations? for it is your right: for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.	Jeremiah 10:7 Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee.
Jeremiah 10:8 But they are together like beasts and foolish: the teaching of false gods is wood.	Jeremiah 10:8 But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.
Jeremiah 10:9 Silver hammered into plates is sent from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the expert workman and of the hands of the gold-worker; blue and purple is their clothing, all the work of expert men.	Jeremiah 10:9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men.
Jeremiah 10:10 But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and an eternal king: when he is angry, the earth is shaking with fear, and the nations give way before his wrath.

Jeremiah 10:12 He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out.

Jeremiah 10:13 At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.	Jeremiah 10:13 when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
Jeremiah 10:14 Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.	Jeremiah 10:14 Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Jeremiah 10:15 They are nothing, a work of error: in the time of their punishment, destruction will overtake them.	Jeremiah 10:15 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Jeremiah 10:16 The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.	Jeremiah 10:16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Jeremiah 10:17 Get your goods together and go out of the land, O you who are shut up in the walled town.	Jeremiah 10:17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege.

Jeremiah 10:20 My tent is pulled down and all my cords are broken: my children have gone from me, and they are not: no longer is there anyone to give help in stretching out my tent and hanging up my curtains.

Jeremiah 10:21 For the keepers of the sheep have become like beasts, not looking to the Lord for directions: so they have not done wisely and all their flocks have been put to flight.

Jeremiah 10:22 News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals.

Jeremiah 10:23 O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.	Jeremiah 10:23 O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Jeremiah 10:25 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
