“They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.”
Jeremiah 10:15 (BSB)
Context Reading
13When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses. 14Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and there is no breath in them. 15They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish. 16The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance — the LORD of Hosts is His name. 17Gather up your belongings from this land, you who live under siege.
