Jeremiah 10:3-5 American Standard Version (ASV)

3. For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.

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

5. They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
