Jeremiah 10:5 in Context — Jeremiah 10
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.
6 Pois ninguém há semelhante a ti, SENHOR! Grande és tu, e grande é teu nome em poder!
7 Quem não temeria a ti, ó Rei das nações? Porque a ti pertence [o temor] ; porque entre todos os sábios das nações, e em todos seus reinos, não há semelhante a ti.
