Jeremiah
Chapter
10
1
Hear you the word which Jehovah/God speaks unto you,
O
house of Israel: 2
Thus
said Jehovah/God,
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/empty.
For
one cuts a tree out of the forest,
the
work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
{making an idol for use in the Phallic Cult - sex and human
sacrifice
in idol worship}
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.
Carrying
. . . they are carried . . .
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 you, O Jehovah/God.
You are great, and Your name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear you, O King of nations?
For to you do it appertain.
Forasmuch
as among all the wise men of the nations,
and
in all their kingdoms,
there
is none like unto you.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish.
The stock/wood is a doctrine of vanities/emptinesses.
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.
10
But Jehovah/God is the true 'Elohiym/Godhead,
He
is the living 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and
an everlasting king.
At
His wrath the earth shall tremble,
and
the nations shall not be able to abide His indignation.
11
Thus shall you say unto them,
The
'elahh/gods that have not made the heavens and the earth,
even
they shall perish from the earth,
and
from under these heavens.
12
He has 'manufactued out of something else' {`asah}
the
earth by His power,
He
has established the world by His wisdom/doctrine {chokmah},
and
has stretched out the heavens
by
his discretion/intelligence {tabuwn}.
13
When He uttered His voice,
there
is a multitude of waters in the heavens,
and
He caused the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He
makes lightnings with rain,
and
brings forth the wind out of His treasures.
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge.
Every founder is confounded by the graven image.
For
his molten image is falsehood,
and
there is no breath in them.
15
They are vanity/emptiness,
and
the work of errors.
In the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16
The portion of Jacob is not like them
for
he is the former of all things
and
Israel is the rod of his inheritance . . .
Jehovah/God
of the armies/hosts is His name.
17
Gather up your wares out of the land,
O
inhabitant of the fortress.
18
For thus said Jehovah/God,
Behold,
I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once,
and
will distress them,
that
they may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my hurt!
My wound is grievous.
But I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20
My tabernacle is spoiled,
and
all my cords/ropes are broken.
My
children are gone forth of me,
and
they are not.
There
is none to stretch forth my tent any more,
and
to set up my curtains.
21
For the pastors are become brutish,
and
have not sought Jehovah/God.
Therefore
they shall not prosper,
and
all their flocks shall be scattered.
22
Behold, the noise of the bruit is come,
and
a great commotion out of the north country,
to
make the cities of Judah desolate,
and
a den of dragons.
23
O Jehovah/God,
I
know that the way of man is not in himself.
It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24
O Jehovah/God, correct me, but with judgment . . .
not
in your anger,
lest
you bring me to nothing.
25
Pour out your fury upon the heathen
who
know you not,
and
upon the families
who
call not on your name . . .
for
they have eaten up Jacob,
and
devoured him,
and
consumed him,
and
have made his habitation desolate.
