Jeremiah 10:3-5
Complete Jewish Bible
3 for the customs of the peoples are nothing.
They cut down a tree in the forest;
a craftsman works it with his axe;
4 they deck it with silver and gold.
They fix it with hammer and nails,
so that it won’t move.
5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber patch,
it cannot speak.
It has to be carried,
because it cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of it —
it can do nothing bad;
likewise it is unable
to do anything good!”
