Jeremiah 10:9

---

← Jeremiah 10:8	Jeremiah 10:9 (KJV)	Jeremiah 10:10 →
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].	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.
