Jeremiah 10:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

“Don’t live like people from other nations.
    Don’t be afraid of special signs in the sky.^[a]
The other nations are afraid of what they see in the sky.
    But you must not be afraid of them.
³ The customs of other people are worth nothing.
    Their idols are nothing but wood from the forest.
    Their idols are made by workers with their chisels.^[b]
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.
