Jeremiah 10:2-3, 6-7, 10, 12-13, 16, 23 2 Eternal One: Don’t learn the strange practices and beliefs of other nations. Don’t be terrified by signs in the sky just because the other nations are. 3 For their traditions and customs are useless; there is nothing to them. A tree is cut down in the forest; then an artisan takes out a tool and carves it into an image. 6 O Eternal One, there is no comparison.You are great; even Your name is powerful. 7 Who wouldn’t worship You? It is only right; You are the King of all kingdoms. The wise and powerful men of all nations in their realms are still nothing compared to You. 10 Just look at the contrast! The Eternal is the True God: He is the living God and eternal King, not some lifeless idol. The whole earth trembles when He is angry; nations crumble beneath His wrath. 12 Know whom you’re dealing with! God alone is powerful enough to create the earth. He alone is wise enough to put the world together. He alone understands enough to stretch out the heavens. 13 His voice thunders through the heavens, and the waters gush from the sky; He summons the clouds to build up over the earth. As the rain falls, the lightning flashes at His command; the wind rushes in from where He alone can store it. 16 The portion of Jacob, the Eternal One, is not like any of these. He was not fashioned out of human hands. Instead, it is He who made all things and appointed Israel to inherit it all. His name is the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies. 23 Jeremiah: O Eternal One, I know our lives are in Your hands. It is not in us to direct our own steps—we need You.
