Jeremiah 10:14-16
Easy-to-Read Version
14 People are so stupid!
Metalworkers are fooled by the idols that they themselves made.
These statues are nothing but lies.
They are stupid.[a]
15 These idols are worth nothing.
They are something to make fun of.
In the time of judgment they will be destroyed.
16 But Jacob’s God[b] is not like the idols.
He made everything,
and Israel is the family that God chose to be his own people.
His name is Lord All-Powerful.

Jeremiah 10:14-16
New International Version
14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed(A) by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(B)
they have no breath in them.
15 They are worthless,(C) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
16 He who is the Portion(D) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,(E)
including Israel, the people of his inheritance(F)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.(G)
