The True God and Worthless Idols

10Hear the word that the Lord has spoken to you, house of Israel.H8085H1697H3068H1696H1004H3478
2This is what the Lord says: "Don't learn the way of the nations, and don't be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified of them.H559H3068H3925H1870H1471H2865H226H8064H1471H2865H1992
3For the practices of the people are worthless. Indeed, a tree is cut down from the forest; it's the work of the hands of a craftsman with an ax.H2708H5971H1892H3772H6086H3293H4639H3027H2796H4621
4They decorate it with silver and gold. They secure it with nails and hammers so it won't totter.H3302H3701H2091H2388H4548H4717H6328
5Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field. They can't speak! They must always be carried because they can't walk! Don't be afraid of them because they can do no harm, nor can they do any good."H4749H8560H1696H5375H5375H6805H3372H7489H3190
6There is no one like you, Lord. You are great, and your name is great and powerful.H3068H1419H8034H1419H1369
7Who wouldn't fear you, king of the nations?This is what you deserve! Indeed, among all the wise men of the nations, and throughout all their kingdoms, there is no one like you!H3372H4428H1471H2969H2450H1471H4438
8Everyone is stupid and senseless. They follow worthless instruction from a piece of wood!H259H1197H3688H6086H4148H1892
9Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. The idols are the work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith. Their clothing is violet and purple. The idols are all the work of skilled craftsmen.H3701H7554H935H8659H2091H210H4639H2796H3027H6884H8504H713H3830H4639H2450
10The Lord is the true God; he's the living God and the everlasting king. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation.H3068H571H430H2416H430H5769H4428H7110H776H7493H1471H3557H2195
11Tell this to them: "The gods who didn't make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from these heavens."H1836H560H426H3809H5648H8065H778H7H772H8460H429H8065

A Hymn of Praise to God

12The Lord is the one who made the world by his power, who established the earth by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.H6213H776H3581H3559H8398H2451H5186H8064H8394
13When his voice sounds there is thunder from the waters of heaven, and he makes clouds rise up from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and brings wind out of his storehouses.H5414H6963H1995H4325H8064H5387H5927H7097H776H6213H1300H4306H3318H7307H214
14Everyone is stupid and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false. There is no life in them.H120H1197H1847H6884H3001H6459H5262H8267H7307
15They're worthless, a work of mockery, and when the time of punishment comes, they'll perish.H1892H4639H8595H6256H6486H6
16The Portion of Jacob is not like these. He made everything, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. The Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name.H2506H3290H3335H3478H7626H5159H3068H6635H8034

The Coming Captivity of Judah

17You who live under siege, Gather up your bundle from the ground.H622H3666H776H3427H4692
18For this is what the Lord says: "I'm going to throw out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and I'll bring distress on them so they'll experience it."H559H3068H7049H3427H776H6471H6887H4672
19Woe is me because of my injury. My wound is severe. I said, "Truly this is my sickness, and I must bear it.H188H7667H4347H2470H559H389H2483H5375
20My tent is destroyed, and all my tent cords are broken. My sons have gone away from me, they no longer live. There is no one to pitch my tent again and set up my curtains.H168H7703H4340H5423H1121H3318H5186H168H6965H3407
21Because the shepherds are stupid and don't seek the Lord, therefore, they don't prosper, and their flock is scattered.H7462H1197H1875H3068H7919H4830H6327
22The sound of a report, it's coming now! There is a great commotion from a land in the north to make the towns of Judah desolate, a refuge for jackals."H6963H8052H935H1419H7494H6828H776H7760H5892H3063H8077H4583H8577

Jeremiah’s Prayer

23Lord, I know that a person's life is not his to control, nor does a person establish his way in life.H3068H3045H1870H120H376H1980H3559H6806
24Lord, correct me, but with justice, not with anger. Otherwise, you'll bring me to nothing.H3068H3256H4941H639H4591
25Pour out your anger on the nations that don't acknowledge you, and on the families that don't call on your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have devoured and consumed him; they have devastated his habitation.H8210H2534H1471H3045H4940H7121H8034H398H3290H398H3615H5116H8074
