Jeremiah 10:2-4

World English Bible

“Don’t learn the way of the nations,
    and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky;
    for the nations are dismayed at them.
³ For the customs of the peoples are vanity;
    for one cuts a tree out of the forest,
    the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
⁴ They deck it with silver and with gold.
    They fasten it with nails and with hammers,
    so that it can’t move.
