Jer 10:8 But they are altogether stupid and foolish In their discipline of delusion - their idol is wood!
Jer 10:9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith; Violet and purple are their clothing; They are all the work of skilled men.
Jer 10:10 But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, And the nations cannot endure His indignation.

Jer 10:20 My tent is destroyed, And all my ropes are broken; My sons have gone from me and are no more. There is no one to stretch out my tent again Or to set up my curtains.
Jer 10:21 For the shepherds have become stupid And have not sought the Lord; Therefore they have not prospered, And all their flock is scattered.

Jer 10:23 I know, O Lord, that a man's way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.
Jer 10:24 Correct me, O Lord, but with justice; Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.
Jer 10:25 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You And on the families that do not call Your name; For they have devoured Jacob; They have devoured him and consumed him And have laid waste his habitation.
