Jeremiah 10:7-9

Contemporary English Version

^7 (A) You are King of the nations.
    Everyone should worship you.
No human anywhere on earth
    is wiser than you.
⁸ Idols are worthless,
and anyone who worships them
    is a fool!
⁹ Idols are made by humans.
    A carver shapes the wood.
A metalworker hammers out
a covering of gold from Uphaz
    or of silver from Tarshish.
Then the idol is dressed
    in blue and purple clothes.
