False Gods Contrasted with the Creator

10Hear the word that the LORD has spoken to you, house of Israel.H8085H1697H3068H1696H1004H3478
2This is what the LORD says: Do not learn the way of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, although the nations are terrified by them,H559H3068H3925H1870H1471H2865H226H8064H1471H2865H1992
3for the customs of the peoples are worthless. Someone cuts down a tree from the forest; [it is] worked by the hands of a craftsman with a chisel.H2708H5971H1892H3772H6086H3293H4639H3027H2796H4621
4He decorates it with silver and gold. It is fastened with hammer and nails, so it won't totter.H3302H3701H2091H2388H4548H4717H6328
5Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them for they can do no harm— and they cannot do any good.H4749H8560H1696H5375H5375H6805H3372H7489H3190
6LORD, there is no one like You. You are great; Your name is great in power.H3068H1419H8034H1419H1369
7Who should not fear You, King of the nations? It is what You deserve. For among all the wise people of the nations and among all their kingdoms, there is no one like You.H3372H4428H1471H2969H2450H1471H4438
8They are both senseless and foolish, instructed by worthless idols [made of] wood!H259H1197H3688H6086H4148H1892
9Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz from the hands of a goldsmith, the work of a craftsman. Their clothing is blue and purple, all the work of skilled artisans.H3701H7554H935H8659H2091H210H4639H2796H3027H6884H8504H713H3830H4639H2450
10But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His rage.H3068H571H430H2416H430H5769H4428H7110H776H7493H1471H3557H2195
11You are to say this to them: The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.H1836H560H426H3809H5648H8065H778H7H772H8460H429H8065
12He made the earth by His power, established the world by His wisdom, and spread out the heavens by His understanding.H6213H776H3581H3559H8398H2451H5186H8064H8394
13When He thunders, the waters in the heavens are in turmoil, and He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and brings the wind from His storehouses.H5414H6963H1995H4325H8064H5387H5927H7097H776H6213H1300H4306H3318H7307H214
14Everyone is stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith is put to shame by [his] carved image, for his cast images are a lie; there is no breath in them.H120H1197H1847H6884H3001H6459H5262H8267H7307
15They are worthless, a work to be mocked. At the time of their punishment they will be destroyed.H1892H4639H8595H6256H6486H6
16Jacob's Portion is not like these because He is the One who formed all things. Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; the LORD of Hosts is His name.H2506H3290H3335H3478H7626H5159H3068H6635H8034

Exile After the Siege

17Gather up your belongings from the ground, you who live under siege.H622H3666H776H3427H4692
18For this is what the LORD says: Look, I am slinging out the land's residents at this time and bringing them such distress that they will feel it.H559H3068H7049H3427H776H6471H6887H4672

Jeremiah Grieves

19Woe to me because of my brokenness— I am severely wounded! I exclaimed, "This is my intense suffering, but I must bear it."H188H7667H4347H2470H559H389H2483H5375
20My tent is destroyed; all my tent cords are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. [I have] no one to pitch my tent again or to hang up my curtains.H168H7703H4340H5423H1121H3318H5186H168H6965H3407
21For the shepherds are stupid: they don't seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and their whole flock is scattered.H7462H1197H1875H3068H7919H4830H6327
22Listen! A noise— it is coming— a great commotion from the land to the north. The cities of Judah will be made desolate, a jackals' den.H6963H8052H935H1419H7494H6828H776H7760H5892H3063H8077H4583H8577
23I know, LORD, that a man's way of life is not his own; no one who walks determines his own steps.H3068H3045H1870H120H376H1980H3559H6806
24Discipline me, LORD, but with justice— not in Your anger, or You will reduce me to nothing.H3068H3256H4941H639H4591
25Pour out Your wrath on the nations that don't recognize You and on the families that don't call on Your name, for they have consumed Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off and made his homeland desolate.H8210H2534H1471H3045H4940H7121H8034H398H3290H398H3615H5116H8074
