LEB JER Chapter 10
◄ JER 10 ► ║ ©
10 Hear the word that Yahweh speaks to you, O house of Israel.
- 2 Thus says Yahweh:“You must not learn the way of the nations,
- and you must not be dismayed by the signs of the heavens,
- for the nations are dismayed by them.
- 3 are vanity, for it is a tree cut down from the forest,
- the work of the hands of a craftsman with the tool.
- 4 they strengthen it with nails and hammers,
- so that it does not stagger.
- 5 are like scarecrows[fn] in a cucumber field, they cannot speak.
- Indeed, they must be carried,
- You must not be afraid of them,
- furthermore, to do good is not in them.”
- 6 O Yahweh, you are great and your name is great in might.
- 7 For you it is fitting.
- For among all the wise men of the nations,
- and in all their kingdoms,[fn]
- there is none like you.
- 8 [fn] they are stupid and foolish, in the instruction of idols, it is wood.
- 9 and gold from Uphaz,
- the work of the craftsman and the hands of the goldsmith.
- Blue and purple are their clothing,
- all of them are the work of skillful people.
- 10 is the true God, he is the living God,
- and[fn]
- Because of his wrath the earth quakes,
- and the nations cannot endure his anger.
- 11 “Thus[fn] you shall say to them, ‘Gods who did not make the heavens and the earth
- will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.
- 12 He is the maker of the earth by his power, who created the world by his wisdom,
- and by his understanding he stretched out heaven.
- 13 [fn] there is a noise of water in the heavens, and he causes the mist to rise from the ends[fn] of the earth.
- He makes lightning for the rain,
- and he causes the wind to go out from his storehouses.
- 14 [fn] is stupid, [fn] every goldsmith is ashamed by his divine image,
- for his cast image is an illusion,
- and there is no breath in them.
- 15 are vanity, a work of mockery, at the time of their punishment, they will perish.
- 16 is not like these, for he is the creator of everything,
- and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance,
- Yahweh of hosts is his name.
- 17 the ground, you who live under the siege.’ ”
- 18 For thus says Yahweh,“Look, I am about to sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time,
- and I will bring distress to them, so that they may feel it.”
The Nation Accepts Its Judgment
- 19 My wound is incurable.
- But I said, “Surely this is my sickness,
- and I must bear it.”
- 20 and all my tent cords are torn.
- My children have gone out from me,
- There is no one who pitches my tent again,
- or one who puts up my tent curtains.
- 21 they do not seek Yahweh.
- [fn] they do not have insight,
- and all of their flock are scattered.
- 22 [fn] Look, it is coming,
- a great roar from the land of the north,
- to make the cities of Judah a desolation,
- a lair of jackals.
- 23 O Yahweh, that to the human is not his own way, nor to a person is the walking and the directing of his own step.
- 24 [fn] me, O Yahweh, but in moderation, not in your anger, lest you eradicate me.
- 25 and on the peoples that do not call on your name,
- for they have devoured Jacob,
- they have devoured and consumed him,
- and they have caused his settlement to be desolate.
