Jeremiah 10:4-6

English Standard Version

^4 (A)They decorate it with silver and gold;
    ^(B)they fasten it with hammer and nails
    so that it cannot move.
⁵ Their idols^[a] are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
    and ^(C)they cannot speak;
^(D)they have to be carried,
    for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
    ^(E)for they cannot do evil,
    neither is it in them to do good.”
