Christ Lives in Me

    Jeremiah 10:3-16

    3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless; 

       they cut a tree out of the forest, 

       and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. 

    4 They adorn it with silver and gold; 

       they fasten it with hammer and nails 

       so it will not totter. 

    5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, 

       their idols cannot speak; 

    they must be carried 

       because they cannot walk. 

    Do not fear them; 

       they can do no harm 

       nor can they do any good.”


     6 No one is like you, LORD; 

       you are great, 

       and your name is mighty in power. 

    7 Who should not fear you, 

       King of the nations? 

       This is your due. 

    Among all the wise leaders of the nations 

       and in all their kingdoms, 

       there is no one like you.


     8 They are all senseless and foolish; 

       they are taught by worthless wooden idols. 

    9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish 

       and gold from Uphaz. 

    What the craftsman and goldsmith have made 

       is then dressed in blue and purple— 

       all made by skilled workers. 

    10 But the LORD is the true God; 

       he is the living God, the eternal King. 

    When he is angry, the earth trembles; 

       the nations cannot endure his wrath.


     11 “Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.’”[a]


     12 But God made the earth by his power; 

       he founded the world by his wisdom 

       and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. 

    13 When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; 

       he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. 

    He sends lightning with the rain 

       and brings out the wind from his storehouses.


     14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; 

       every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. 

    The images he makes are a fraud; 

       they have no breath in them. 

    15 They are worthless, the objects of mockery; 

       when their judgment comes, they will perish. 

    16 He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, 

       for he is the Maker of all things, 

    including Israel, the people of his inheritance— 

       the LORD Almighty is his name.
