Jeremiah 10:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ They make their idols beautiful with silver and gold.
    They use hammers and nails to fasten their idols down
    so that they will not fall over.
⁵ The idols of the other nations are like
    a scarecrow in a cucumber field.
They cannot walk.
    They cannot talk, and the people must carry them.
So don’t be afraid of their idols.
    They cannot hurt you.
And they cannot help you either.”
