Jeremiah 10: 2-5 and verse 8
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 by them.
For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth the tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers, that it move not.
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 is it in them to do good.
Verse 8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
