Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Jeremiah 9
²⁵ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
²⁶ Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
Jeremiah 10
¹ Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
² Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
³ For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
⁴ They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
⁵ They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
⁶ Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
⁷ Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
⁸ But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
⁹ Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
