Jeremiah 10:3-5

Authorized (King James) Version

³ For the customs of the people are vain:
for one cutteth a tree out of the forest,
the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
⁴ They deck it with silver and with gold;
they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
⁵ They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not:
they must needs be borne, because they cannot go.
Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil,
neither also is it in them to do good.
