 |
| Jeremiah 10:1 |
|
Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaketh unto
you, O house of Israel: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 10:2 |
|
thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the
nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed
at them. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 10:3 |
|
For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for
one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with
the axe. |
| |
|
|
| 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 |
|
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 none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou
art great, and thy name is great in might. |
| |
|
|
| 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 brutish and foolish:
the instruction of idols! it is but a stock. |
|
|
|
| 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 Jehovah is the true God; he is the living
God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations
are not able to abide his indignation. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 10:11 |
|
Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have
not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from
under the heavens. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 10:12 |
|
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath
established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched
out the heavens: |
|
|
|
| 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 |
|
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 vanity, a work of delusion: in the
time of their visitation they shall perish. |
|
|
|
| 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 |
|
Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou
that abidest in the siege. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 10:18 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will sling
out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they
may feel it. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 10:19 |
|
Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous:
but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 10:20 |
|
My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken:
my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread
my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 10:21 |
|
For the shepherds are become brutish, and have
not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks
are scattered. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 10:22 |
|
The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and
a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation,
a dwelling-place of jackals. |
|
|
|
|
| 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 10:24 |
|
O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure: not in
thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. |
|
|
|
|
| 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.
