Jeremiah 10:3-5
Common English Bible
3 The rituals of the nations are hollow:
a tree from the forest is chopped down
and shaped by the craftsman’s tools.
4 It’s overlaid with silver and gold,
and fastened securely with hammer and nails
so it won’t fall over.
5 They are no different than a scarecrow
in a cucumber patch:
they can’t speak;
they must be carried
because they can’t walk.
Don’t be afraid of them,
because they can’t do harm or good.
