1 You people of Israel, listen to what the LORD has to say to you. 2 The LORD says, |Do not start following pagan religious practices. Do not be in awe of signs that occur in the sky even though the nations hold them in awe. 3 For the religion of these people is worthless. They cut down a tree in the forest, and a craftsman makes it into an idol with his tools. 4 He decorates it with overlays of silver and gold. He uses hammer and nails to fasten it together so that it will not fall over. Jeremiah 10:1-4, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
