    and in all their kingdoms,[b]
    there is none like you.

  1. Jeremiah 10:5 Hebrew “scarecrow”
  2. Jeremiah 10:7 Hebrew “kingdom”

Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
    their idols cannot speak;(A)

    because they cannot walk.(B)
Do not fear them;
    they can do no harm(C)
    nor can they do any good.”(D)

No one is like you,(E) Lord;
    you are great,(F)
    and your name is mighty in power.
Who should not fear(G) you,
    King of the nations?(H)
    This is your due.
Among all the wise leaders of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms,
    there is no one like you.
