Jeremiah 10:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ Craftsmen decorate them with silver and gold
and fasten them ⌞together⌟ with hammers and nails
so that they won’t fall over.
⁵ These trees are like scarecrows in cucumber gardens.
They aren’t able to speak.
They have to be carried, because they can’t walk.
Don’t be afraid of them.
They can’t harm you.
They can’t do you any good either.
