Ieremias 10
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
10 Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, domus Israel.
2 Haec dicit Dominus: Juxta vias gentium nolite discere, et a signis caeli nolite metuere, quae timent gentes,
3 quia leges populorum vanae sunt. Quia lignum de saltu praecidit opus manus artificis in ascia:
4 argento et auro decoravit illud: clavis et malleis compegit, ut non dissolvatur:
5 in similitudinem palmae fabricata sunt, et non loquentur: portata tollentur, quia incedere non valent. Nolite ergo timere ea, quia nec male possunt facere, nec bene.
6 Non est similis tui, Domine: magnus es tu, et magnum nomen tuum in fortitudine.
7 Quis non timebit te, o Rex gentium? tuum est enim decus: inter cunctos sapientes gentium, et in universis regnis eorum, nullus est similis tui.
8 Pariter insipientes et fatui probabuntur: doctrina vanitatis eorum lignum est.
9 Argentum involutum de Tharsis affertur, et aurum de Ophaz: opus artificis et manus aerarii. Hyacinthus et purpura indumentum eorum: opus artificum universa haec.
10 Dominus autem Deus verus est, ipse Deus vivens, et rex sempiternus. Ab indignatione ejus commovebitur terra, et non sustinebunt gentes comminationem ejus.
11 Sic ergo dicetis eis: Dii qui caelos et terram non fecerunt, pereant de terra et de his quae sub caelo sunt!
12 Qui facit terram in fortitudine sua, praeparat orbem in sapientia sua, et prudentia sua extendit caelos:
13 ad vocem suam dat multitudinem aquarum in caelo, et elevat nebulas ab extremitatibus terrae: fulgura in pluviam facit, et educit ventum de thesauris suis.
14 Stultus factus est omnis homo a scientia: confusus est artifex omnis in sculptili, quoniam falsum est quod conflavit, et non est spiritus in eis.
15 Vana sunt, et opus risu dignum: in tempore visitationis suae peribunt.
16 Non est his similis pars Jacob: qui enim formavit omnia, ipse est, et Israel virga haereditatis ejus: Dominus exercituum nomen illi.
17 Congrega de terra confusionem tuam, quae habitas in obsidione:
18 quia haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego longe projiciam habitatores terrae in hac vice, et tribulabo eos ita ut inveniantur.
19 Vae mihi super contritione mea: pessima plaga mea. Ego autem dixi: Plane haec infirmitas mea est, et portabo illam.
20 Tabernaculum meum vastatum est; omnes funiculi mei dirupti sunt: filii mei exierunt a me, et non subsistunt. Non est qui extendat ultra tentorium meum, et erigat pelles meas.
21 Quia stulte egerunt pastores, et Dominum non quaesierunt: propterea non intellexerunt, et omnis grex eorum dispersus est.
22 Vox auditionis ecce venit, et commotio magna de terra aquilonis: ut ponat civitates Juda solitudinem, et habitaculum draconum.
23 Scio, Domine, quia non est hominis via ejus, nec viri est ut ambulet, et dirigat gressus suos.
24 Corripe me, Domine, verumtamen in judicio, et non in furore tuo, ne forte ad nihilum redigas me.
25 Effunde indignationem tuam super gentes quae non cognoverunt te, et super provincias quae nomen tuum non invocaverunt: quia comederunt Jacob, et devoraverunt eum, et consumpserunt illum, et decus ejus dissipaverunt.

New International Version
God and Idols(A)
10 Hear what the Lord says to you, people of Israel. 2 This is what the Lord says:
“Do not learn the ways of the nations(B)
or be terrified by signs(C) in the heavens,
though the nations are terrified by them.
3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman(D) shapes it with his chisel.(E)
4 They adorn it with silver(F) and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.(G)
5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
their idols cannot speak;(H)
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.(I)
Do not fear them;
they can do no harm(J)
nor can they do any good.”(K)
6 No one is like you,(L) Lord;
you are great,(M)
and your name is mighty in power.
7 Who should not fear(N) you,
King of the nations?(O)
This is your due.
Among all the wise leaders of the nations
and in all their kingdoms,
there is no one like you.
8 They are all senseless(P) and foolish;(Q)
they are taught by worthless wooden idols.(R)
9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish(S)
and gold from Uphaz.
What the craftsman and goldsmith have made(T)
is then dressed in blue and purple—
all made by skilled workers.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
he is the living God,(U) the eternal King.(V)
When he is angry,(W) the earth trembles;(X)
the nations cannot endure his wrath.(Y)
11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish(Z) from the earth and from under the heavens.’”[a]
12 But God made(AA) the earth(AB) by his power;
he founded the world by his wisdom(AC)
and stretched out the heavens(AD) by his understanding.
13 When he thunders,(AE) the waters in the heavens roar;
he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning(AF) with the rain(AG)
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.(AH)
14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed(AI) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(AJ)
they have no breath in them.
15 They are worthless,(AK) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16 He who is the Portion(AL) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,(AM)
including Israel, the people of his inheritance(AN)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.(AO)
Coming Destruction
17 Gather up your belongings(AP) to leave the land,
you who live under siege.
18 For this is what the Lord says:
“At this time I will hurl(AQ) out
those who live in this land;
I will bring distress(AR) on them
so that they may be captured.”
19 Woe to me because of my injury!
My wound(AS) is incurable!
Yet I said to myself,
“This is my sickness, and I must endure(AT) it.”
20 My tent(AU) is destroyed;
all its ropes are snapped.
My children are gone from me and are no more;(AV)
no one is left now to pitch my tent
or to set up my shelter.
21 The shepherds(AW) are senseless(AX)
and do not inquire of the Lord;(AY)
so they do not prosper(AZ)
and all their flock is scattered.(BA)
22 Listen! The report is coming—
a great commotion from the land of the north!(BB)
It will make the towns of Judah desolate,(BC)
a haunt of jackals.(BD)
Jeremiah’s Prayer
23 Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own;
it is not for them to direct their steps.(BE)
24 Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure—
not in your anger,(BF)
or you will reduce me to nothing.(BG)
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations(BH)
that do not acknowledge you,
on the peoples who do not call on your name.(BI)
For they have devoured(BJ) Jacob;
they have devoured him completely
and destroyed his homeland.(BK)
