Jeremiah 10:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ They decorate it with silver and gold.
    They secure it with nails and hammers
        so it won’t totter.
⁵ Their idols^[a] are like scarecrows in a cucumber field.
    They can’t speak!
They must always be carried
    because they can’t walk!
Don’t be afraid of them
    because they can do no harm,
        nor can they do any good.”
