Jeremiah 10:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

‘Do not copy the way that people of other nations live.
They are afraid of strange things that they see in the sky.
    But you must not be afraid of those things.^[a]
3 The customs of those people are useless.^[b]
They cut down a tree in the forest.
    A worker uses his tools to make it into an idol.
⁴ He covers it with silver and gold
    to make it look beautiful.
He uses nails to fix it together
    so that it will not fall down.
