Because{G1360} that, when they knew{G1097}{(G5631)} God{G2316}, they glorified{G1392}{(G5656)} him not{G3756} as{G5613} God{G2316}, neither{G2228} were thankful{G2168}{(G5656)}; but{G235} became vain{G3154}{(G5681)} in{G1722} their{G846} imaginations{G1261}, and{G2532} their{G846} foolish{G801} heart{G2588} was darkened{G4654}{(G5681)}.

Jer 10:3-8 : 3 For the customs{H2708} of the people{H5971} are vain{H1892}: for one cutteth{H3772}{(H8804)} a tree{H6086} out of the forest{H3293}, the work{H4639} of the hands{H3027} of the workman{H2796}, with the axe{H4621}. 4 They deck{H3302}{(H8762)} it with silver{H3701} and with gold{H2091}; they fasten{H2388}{(H8762)} it with nails{H4548} and with hammers{H4717}, that it move{H6328}{(H8686)} not. 5 They are upright{H4749} as the palm tree{H8560}, but speak{H1696}{(H8762)} not: they must needs{H5375}{(H8800)} be borne{H5375}{(H8735)}, because they cannot go{H6805}{(H8799)}. Be not afraid{H3372}{(H8799)} of them; for they cannot do evil{H7489}{(H8686)}, neither also is it in them to do good{H3190}{(H8687)}. 6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD{H3068}; thou art great{H1419}, and thy name{H8034} is great{H1419} in might{H1369}. 7 Who would not fear{H3372}{(H8799)} thee, O King{H4428} of nations{H1471}? for to thee doth it appertain{H2969}{(H8804)}: forasmuch as among all the wise{H2450} men of the nations{H1471}, and in all their kingdoms{H4438}, there is none like unto thee. 8 But they are altogether{H259} brutish{H1197}{(H8799)} and foolish{H3688}{(H8799)}: the stock{H6086} is a doctrine{H4148} of vanities{H1892}.
Jer 10:14-15 : 14 Every man{H120} is brutish{H1197}{(H8738)} in his knowledge{H1847}: every founder{H6884}{(H8802)} is confounded{H3001}{(H8689)} by the graven image{H6459}: for his molten image{H5262} is falsehood{H8267}, and there is no breath{H7307} in them. 15 They are vanity{H1892}, and the work{H4639} of errors{H8595}: in the time{H6256} of their visitation{H6486} they shall perish{H6}{(H8799)}.
Jer 16:19 : 19 O LORD{H3068}, my strength{H5797}, and my fortress{H4581}, and my refuge{H4498} in the day{H3117} of affliction{H6869}, the Gentiles{H1471} shall come{H935}{(H8799)} unto thee from the ends{H657} of the earth{H776}, and shall say{H559}{(H8799)}, Surely our fathers{H1} have inherited{H5157}{(H8804)} lies{H8267}, vanity{H1892}, and things wherein there is no profit{H3276}{(H8688)}.
Hos 2:8 : 8 For she did not know{H3045}{(H8804)} that I gave{H5414}{(H8804)} her corn{H1715}, and wine{H8492}, and oil{H3323}, and multiplied{H7235}{(H8689)} her silver{H3701} and gold{H2091}, which they prepared{H6213}{(H8804)} for Baal{H1168}.
Hab 1:15-16 : 15 They take up{H5927}{(H8689)} all of them with the angle{H2443}, they catch{H1641}{(H8799)} them in their net{H2764}, and gather{H622}{(H8799)} them in their drag{H4365}: therefore they rejoice{H8055}{(H8799)} and are glad{H1523}{(H8799)}. 16 Therefore they sacrifice{H2076}{(H8762)} unto their net{H2764}, and burn incense{H6999}{(H8762)} unto their drag{H4365}; because by them{H1992} their portion{H2506} is fat{H8082}, and their meat{H3978} plenteous{H1277}.
