Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also _is_ _it_ in them to do good. ^5 [6↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-6) Forasmuch as _there_ _is_ none like unto thee, O LORD; thou _art_ great, and thy name _is_ great in might. ^6 [7↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-7) Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise _men_ of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, _there_ _is_ none like unto thee. ^7 [8↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-8) But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock _is_ a doctrine of vanities. ^8 [9↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-9) Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple _is_ their clothing: they _are_ all the work of cunning _men_. ^9 [10↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-10) But the LORD _is_ the true God, he _is_ the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. ^10 [11↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-11) Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, _even_ they shall perish from the earLORDder these heavens. ^11 [12↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-12) He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by his discretion. ^12 [13↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-13) When he utters his voice, _there_ _is_ a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings with rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasures. ^13 [14↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-14) Every man is brutish in _his_ knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image _is_ falsehood, and _there_ _is_ no breath in them. ^14 [15↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-15) They _are_ vanity, _and_ the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. ^15 [16↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-16) The portion of Jacob _is_ not like them: for he _is_ the former of all _things;_ and Israel _is_ the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts _is_ his name. ^16 [17↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-17) ¶ Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. ^17 [18↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-18) For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find _it_ _so_. ^18 [19↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-19) ¶ Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this _is_ a grief, and I must bear it. ^19 [20↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-20) My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they _are_ not: _there_ _is_ none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. ^20 [21↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-21) For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. ^21 [22↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-22) Behold, the noise of the report is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, _and_ a den of dragons. ^22 [23↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-23) ¶ O LORD, I know that the way of man _is_ not in himself: _it_ _is_ not in man that walks to direct his steps. ^23 [24↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-24) O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. ^24 [25↗](Jeremiah%2010%20FSI.md#^jer10-25) Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate. ^25 Tags: #Old_Testament #Jeremiah #Gods_judgment_on_His_people
