Their idols[a] are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
    and they cannot speak;
they have to be carried,
    for they cannot walk.
Be not afraid of them,
    for they cannot do evil,
    neither is it in them to do good.”

There is none like thee, O Lord;
    thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
Who would not fear thee, O King of the nations?
    For this is thy due;
for among all the wise ones of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms
    there is none like thee.

  1. Jeremiah 10:5 Heb They

Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
    their idols cannot speak;(A)
they must be carried
    because they cannot walk.(B)
Do not fear them;
    they can do no harm(C)
    nor can they do any good.”(D)

No one is like you,(E) Lord;
    you are great,(F)
    and your name is mighty in power.
Who should not fear(G) you,
    King of the nations?(H)
    This is your due.
Among all the wise leaders of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms,
    there is no one like you.
