“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.”
- Jeremiah 10:1-4 (KJV)
