Jeremiah 10:3 in Context — Jeremiah 10

1 Ouvi a palavra que o SENHOR fala sobre vós, ó casa de Israel.

2 Assim diz o SENHOR: Não aprendais o caminho das nações, nem vos espanteis dos sinais do céu; ainda que as nações as temam.

3 Porque as ordenanças dos povos são inúteis; pois cortam madeira do bosque, obra de mãos de artífice, com machado.

4 Com prata e ouro a enfeitam; com pregos e martelo a firmam, para que não se abale.

5 São como espantalhos numa plantação, não podem falar; têm que ser levados, pois não podem andar. Não tenhais temor deles; pois nem podem fazer o mal, nem neles há [capacidade de fazer] o bem.
