He hammers it with his tools and works it with the strength of his arms. Yet he grows hungry and loses his strength; he drinks no water and becomes faint. 13 The carpenter measures out wood; he marks it with a stylus. He shapes it with chisels and marks it with a compass. He crafts it in the form of a man, a human figure, to dwell in a house. 14 He cuts down cedars or chooses a cypress or an oak. He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a pine, and the rain makes it grow. 15 It becomes fuel for a man; he takes part of it to warm himself, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. But he also makes a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it. 16 Half of the wood he burns in the fire; he roasts meat over it, eats, and is satisfied. He warms himself and says, 'Ah, I am warm; I see the fire.' 17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol, and bows down to it. He worships it and prays to it, saying, 'Save me, for you are my god.' 18 They have no knowledge or understanding; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their hearts so they cannot understand. 19 No one considers in his heart, no one has the knowledge or insight to say, 'Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals, roasted meat, and ate. Now, should I make an abomination of the rest? Should I bow down to a block of wood?' 20 He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has led him astray, and he cannot save himself or say, 'Isn't there a lie in my right hand?'

And will you not declare it? From now on I will make you hear new things, hidden things that you have not known. 7 They are created now, not long ago; before today, you didn’t hear of them, so that you cannot say, 'Behold, I knew them.' 8 Indeed, you neither heard nor understood; beforehand, your ear had not been open. For I knew that you were treacherous and a transgressor from the womb.
  • Jer 10:3-8 : 3 For the customs of the nations are worthless.

They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they can do no harm—nor can they do any good. 6 There is no one like You, Lord. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power. 7 Who should not fear You, King of the nations? This is Your due. Among all the wise ones of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like You. 8 They are all senseless and foolish; their instruction comes from worthless idols.
