New King James Version
Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 For the Gentiles are dismayed at them. 3 The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. 4 So that it will not topple. 5 Nor can they do any good.” 6 (You are great, and Your name is great in might), 7 There is none like You. 8 A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine. 9 They are all the work of skillful men. 10 And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation. 11 Thus you shall say to them: “The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.” 12 And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion. 13 He brings the wind out of His treasuries.” 14 And there is no breath in them. 15 In the time of their punishment they shall perish. 16 The Lord of hosts is His name. 17 O inhabitant of the fortress! 18 That they may find it so.” 19 And I must bear it.” 20 Or set up my curtains. 21 And all their flocks shall be scattered. 22 To make the cities of Judah desolate, a den of jackals. 23 It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. 24 Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing. 25 And made his dwelling place desolate.
