Jeremiah 10:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not afraid for the [a]signs of heaven, though the heathen be afraid of such.
3 For the [b]customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest (which is the work of the hands of the carpenter) with the axe,
4 And another decketh it [c]with silver, and with gold: they fasten it with nails and hammers that it fall not.
