Jeremiah 10:8
chevron_left

1
Hear ye the
word which the
L
ORD
speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2
Thus saith the
L
ORD
, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3
For the customs of the people
are
vain: for
one
cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5
They
are
upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also
is it
in them to do good.
6
Forasmuch as
there is
none like unto thee, O
L
ORD
; thou
art
great, and thy name
is
great in might.
7
Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise
men
of the nations, and in all their kingdoms,
there is
none like unto thee.
But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock
is
a doctrine of vanities.
9
Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple
is
their clothing: they
are
all the work of cunning
men
.
10
But the
L
ORD
is
the true God, he
is
the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11
Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth,
even
they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13
When he uttereth his voice,
there is
a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14
Every man is brutish in
his
knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image
is
falsehood, and
there is
no breath in them.
15
They
are
vanity,
and
the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16
The portion of Jacob
is
not like them: for he
is
the former of all
things;
and Israel
is
the rod of his inheritance: The
L
ORD
of hosts
is
his name.
17
Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18
For thus saith the
L
ORD
, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find
it so
.
19
Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this
is
a grief, and I must bear it.
20
My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they
are
not:
there is
none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21
For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the
L
ORD
: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22
Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate,
and
a den of dragons.
23
O
L
ORD
, I know that the way of man
is
not in himself:
it is
not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24
O
L
ORD
, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
25
Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
