Jeremiah 10:8

← Jeremiah 10:7	Jeremiah 10:8 (KJV)	Jeremiah 10:9 →
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.	But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock [is] a doctrine of vanities.	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].
