Jeremiah 10:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And another decketh it [a]with silver, and with gold: they fasten it with nails and hammers that it fall not.
5 The idols stand up as the palm tree, but speak not: they are borne because they cannot go: fear them not, for they cannot do evil, neither can they do good.
6 There is none like unto thee, O Lord: [b]thou art great, and thy Name is great in power.
