Jeremiah 10:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Thus says the Lord:
Do not learn the ways of the nations,
and have no fear of the signs in the heavens,[a]
even though the nations fear them.(A)
3 For the carvings of the nations are nonentities,
wood cut from the forest,
Fashioned by artisans with the adze,(B)
4 adorned with silver and gold.
With nails and hammers they are fastened,
so they do not fall.(C)
