Jeremiah 10:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Who wouldn’t fear you,
    king of the nations?
That is your due;
    among all the wise of the nations
    and in all their countries,
        there is no one like you!
⁸ But they are both foolish and silly;
    they offer nothing
        because they are mere wood.
⁹ Covered with silver from Tarshish
    and gold from Uphaz,
        they are the work of a craftsman
        and the hands of a goldsmith.
Clothed in blue and purple,
    all of them nothing more than the work of artisans.
