Jeremiah 10:3-6 Good News Bible (GNB)

3. The religion of these people is worthless.A tree is cut down in the forest;it is carved by the tools of the woodcarver,

4. and decorated with silver and gold.It is fastened down with nailsto keep it from falling over.

5. Such idols are like scarecrows in a field of melons;they cannot speak;they have to be carriedbecause they cannot walk.Do not be afraid of them:they can cause you no harm,and they can do you no good.”

6. Lord, there is no one like you;you are mighty,and your name is great and powerful.
