Jeremiah 10:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Do not learn the way of the nations,
    or be dismayed at the signs of the heavens;
    for the nations are dismayed at them.
³ For the customs of the peoples are false:
a tree from the forest is cut down,
    and worked with an axe by the hands of an artisan;
⁴ people deck it with silver and gold;
    they fasten it with hammer and nails
    so that it cannot move.
