Jeremiah 10:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ Everyone should respect you,
    the King who rules all the nations.
You deserve that people give you honour.
There is nobody like you anywhere in the world.
    Among all the wise people of the nations
    and among all their kings,
there is no one like you.
⁸ The people of those nations are stupid and foolish.
    They think that wooden idols can teach them something!
⁹ They bring thin silver from Spain.
    They bring gold from Uphaz.
Workers who know how to use wood and metal
    make the idols look beautiful.
They put valuable blue and purple clothes on the idols.
    Workers who have special skills do this.
