Jeremiah 10:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible

10 People of Israel, listen to what the Lord says to you.

2 The Lord says,

‘Do not copy the way that people of other nations live.
They are afraid of strange things that they see in the sky.
    But you must not be afraid of those things.[a]
3 The customs of those people are useless.[b]
They cut down a tree in the forest.
    A worker uses his tools to make it into an idol.

“Do not learn the ways of the nations(B)
    or be terrified by signs(C) in the heavens,
    though the nations are terrified by them.
3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
    they cut a tree out of the forest,
    and a craftsman(D) shapes it with his chisel.(E)
