Jeremiah 10:2-4

New Century Version

“Don’t live like the people from other nations,
    and don’t be afraid of special signs in the sky,
    even though the other nations are afraid of them.
³ The customs of other people are worth nothing.
    Their idols are just wood cut from the forest,
    shaped by a worker with his chisel.
⁴ They decorate their idols with silver and gold.
    With hammers and nails they fasten them down
    so they won’t fall over.
