The Holy Bible

1633 Jeremiah 10

The Knowledge of God Is Man’s Glory

¶ Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,

neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man

glory in his riches :

but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and

knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving-kindness,

judgment, and righteousness, in the earth : for in these things I

delight, saith the Lord.

¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will punish all them

which are circumcised with the uncircumcised ;

Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and

Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the

wilderness : for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the

house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

10

The False Gods and the True God

Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of

Israel :

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.

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.

They deck it with silver and with gold ; they fasten it with nails and

with hammers, that it move not.

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.

¶ Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord ; thou art great,

and thy name is great in might.
