Jeremiah

Jeremiah 10:8–10

8But they are altogether senseless and foolish,

instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

9Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish,

and gold from Uphaz —

the work of a craftsman

from the hands of a goldsmith.

Their clothes are blue and purple,

all fashioned by skilled workers.

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 indignation.
