Jeremiah 10
10:1

Hear8085 ye the word1697 which Yahweh3068 speaketh1696 unto you, O house1004 of Israel:3478

10:2

Thus saith559 Yahweh,3068 Learn3925 not the way1870 of the heathen,1471 and be not dismayed2865 at the signs226 of heaven;8064 for the heathen1471 are dismayed2865 at them.1992

10:3

For the customs2708 of the people5971 are vain:1892 for one cutteth3772 a tree6086 out of the forest,3293 the work4639 of the hands3027 of the workman,2796 with the axe.4621

10:4

They deck3302 it with silver3701 and with gold;2091 they fasten2388 it with nails4548 and with hammers,4717 that it move6328 not.

10:5

They are upright4749 as the palm tree,8560 but speak1696 not: they must needs5375 be borne,5375 because they cannot go.6805 Be not afraid3372 of them; for they cannot do evil,7489 neither also is it in them to do good.3190

10:6

Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Yahweh;3068 thou art great,1419 and thy name8034 is great1419 in might.1369

10:7

Who would not fear3372 thee, O King4428 of nations?1471 for to thee doth it appertain:2969 forasmuch as among all the wise2450 men of the nations,1471 and in all their kingdoms,4438 there is none like unto thee.

10:8

But they are altogether259 brutish1197 and foolish:3688 the stock6086 is a doctrine4148 of vanities.1892

10:9

Silver3701 spread into plates7554 is brought935 from Tarshish,8659 and gold2091 from Uphaz,210 the work4639 of the workman,2796 and of the hands3027 of the founder:6884 blue8504 and purple713 is their clothing:3830 they are all the work4639 of cunning2450 men.

10:10

But Yahweh3068 is the true571 Elohim,430 he is the living2416 Elohim,430 and an everlasting5769 king:4428 at his wrath7110 the earth776 shall tremble,7493 and the nations1471 shall not be able to abide3557 his indignation.2195

10:11

Thus1836 shall ye say560 unto them, The mighty ones426 that have not3809 made5648 the heavens8065 and the earth,778 even they shall perish7 from the earth,772 and from under8460 these429 heavens.8065

10:12

He hath made6213 the earth776 by his power,3581 he hath established3559 the world8398 by his wisdom,2451 and hath stretched out5186 the heavens8064 by his discretion.8394

10:13

When he uttereth5414 his voice,6963 there is a multitude1995 of waters4325 in the heavens,8064 and he causeth the vapours5387 to ascend5927 from the ends7097 of the earth;776 he maketh6213 lightnings1300 with rain,4306 and bringeth forth3318 the wind7307 out of his treasures.214

10:14

Every man120 is brutish1197 in his knowledge:1847 every founder6884 is confounded3001 by the graven image:6459 for his molten image5262 is falsehood,8267 and there is no breath7307 in them.

10:15

They are vanity,1892 and the work4639 of errors:8595 in the time6256 of their visitation6486 they shall perish.6

10:16

The portion2506 of Jacob3290 is not like them: for he is the former3335 of all things; and Israel3478 is the rod7626 of his inheritance:5159 Yahweh3068 of hosts6635 is his name.8034

10:17

Gather622 up thy wares3666 out of the land,776 O inhabitant3427 of the fortress.4692

10:18

For thus saith559 Yahweh,3068 Behold, I will sling out7049 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 at this once,6471 and will distress6887 them, that they may find4672 it so.

10:19

Woe188 is me for my hurt!7667 my wound4347 is grievous:2470 but I said,559 Truly389 this is a grief,2483 and I must bear5375 it.

10:20

My tabernacle168 is spoiled,7703 and all my cords4340 are broken:5423 my children1121 are gone forth3318 of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth5186 my tent168 any more, and to set up6965 my curtains.3407

10:21

For the pastors7462 are become brutish,1197 and have not sought1875 Yahweh:3068 therefore they shall not prosper,7919 and all their flocks4830 shall be scattered.6327

10:22

Behold, the noise6963 of the bruit8052 is come,935 and a great1419 commotion7494 out of the north6828 country,776 to make7760 the cities5892 of Judah3063 desolate,8077 and a den4583 of dragons.8577

10:23

O Yahweh,3068 I know3045 that the way1870 of man120 is not in himself: it is not in man376 that walketh1980 to direct3559 his steps.6806

10:24

O Yahweh,3068 correct3256 me, but with judgment;4941 not in thine anger,639 lest thou bring me to nothing.4591

10:25

Pour out8210 thy fury2534 upon the heathen1471 that know3045 thee not, and upon the families4940 that call7121 not on thy name:8034 for they have eaten up398 Jacob,3290 and devoured398 him, and consumed3615 him, and have made his habitation5116 desolate.8074
