"Do not learn the ways of the nations
or be terrified by signs in the sky,
though the nations are terrified by them.
For the customs of the peoples are worthless:
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
They adorn it with silver and gold:
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.
Like a scarecrow in a melon patch,
their idols cannot speak:
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them:
they can do no harm
nor can they do any good."
~ JEREMIAH 10
