Jeremiah 10:8-10
International Standard Version
8 Everyone is stupid[a] and senseless.
They follow worthless instruction
from a piece of wood![b]
9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,
and gold from Uphaz.
The idols are[c] the work of a craftsman[d]
and of the hands of a goldsmith.
Their clothing is violet and purple.
The idols[e] are all the work of skilled craftsmen.
10 The Lord is the true God;
he’s the living God and the everlasting king.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
