Jeremiah 10:2-4

Tree of Life Version

“Do not learn the way of the nations
    or be frightened by signs of the heavens—
    though the nations are terrified by them.
³ The customs of the peoples are useless:
    it is just a tree cut from the forest,
    the work of the hands of a craftsman with a chisel.
⁴ They decorate it with silver and gold,
    and fasten it with hammer and nails
        so it won’t totter.
