10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
10:2 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 at
them.
10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the
work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers,
that it move not.
10:5 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 also is it in them
to do good.
10:6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is
great in might.
10:7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch
as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like
unto thee.
10:8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
10:9 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.
10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his
wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth,
even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
10:12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom,
and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
10:13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he
causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain,
and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
10:14 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.
10:15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall
perish.
10:16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and
Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
10:17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
10:18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at
this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
10:19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and
I must bear it.
10:20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords 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.
10:21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they
shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
10:22 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.
10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh
to direct his steps.
10:24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to
nothing.
10:25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that
call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him,
and have made his habitation desolate.
