Jeremiah 10:14–16

14 Everyone is stupid and ignorant.

Every goldsmith is put to shame

by his carved image,x

for his cast images are a lie;y

there is no breath in them.z

15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked.

At the time of their punishment

they will be destroyed.aa

16 Jacob’s PortionB is not like these

because he is the one who formed all things.ab

Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;ac

the Lord of Armies is his name.ad
