Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen,
and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are
dismayed at them.

Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth
a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman,
with the axe.

Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten
it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
