Jeremiah 10:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish.
    Gold is brought from Uphaz.
People skilled in working with wood and gold make a statue.
    Then they put blue and purple clothes on it.
    The whole thing is made by skilled workers.
¹⁰But you are the only true God.
    You are the only living God.
    You are the King who rules forever.
When you are angry, the earth trembles with fear.
    The nations can’t stand up under your anger.

¹¹The Lord speaks to the Jews living in Babylon. He says, “Here is what you must tell the people of the nations. Tell them, ‘Your gods did not make the heavens and the earth. In fact, these gods will disappear from the earth. They will vanish from under the heavens.’ ”
