Jeremiah 10 - Versions
Jeremiah 10 Text (WEB) Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel! Thus says Yahweh, "Don't learn the way of the nations, and don't be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them. For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts 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 not move. They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don't speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Don't be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good." There is none like you, Yahweh; you are great, and your name is great in might. Who should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you. But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock. There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men. But Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation. You shall say this to them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens. He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens: when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries. Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Armies is his name. Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege. For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel [it]. Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is [my] grief, and I must bear it. My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Yahweh: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered. The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals. Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps. Yahweh, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing. Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you, and on the families that don't call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
Jeremiah 10 Text (Hebrew) שמעו את־הדבר אשר דבר יהוה עליכם בית ישראל׃ כה אמר יהוה אל־דרך הגוים אל־תלמדו ומאתות השמים אל־תחתו כי־יחתו הגוים מהמה׃ כי־חקות העמים הבל הוא כי־עץ מיער כרתו מעשה ידי־חרש במעצד׃ בכסף ובזהב ייפהו במסמרות ובמקבות יחזקום ולוא יפיק׃ כתמר מקשה המה ולא ידברו נשוא ינשוא כי לא יצעדו אל־תיראו מהם כי־לא ירעו וגם־היטיב אין אותם׃ ס מאין כמוך יהוה גדול אתה וגדול שמך בגבורה׃ מי לא יראך מלך הגוים כי לך יאתה כי בכל־חכמי הגוים ובכל־מלכותם מאין כמוך׃ ובאחת יבערו ויכסלו מוסר הבלים עץ הוא׃ כסף מרקע מתרשיש יובא וזהב מאופז מעשה חרש וידי צורף תכלת וארגמן לבושם מעשה חכמים כלם׃ ויהוה אלהים אמת הוא־אלהים חיים ומלך עולם מקצפו תרעש הארץ ולא־יכלו גוים זעמו׃ ס כדנה תאמרון להום אלהיא די־שמיא וארקא לא עבדו יאבדו מארעא ומן־תחות שמיא אלה׃ ס עשה ארץ בכחו מכין תבל בחכמתו ובתבונתו נטה שמים׃ לקול תתו המון מים בשמים ויעלה נשאים מקצה ברקים למטר עשה ויוצא רוח מאצרתיו׃ נבער כל־אדם מדעת הביש כל־צורף מפסל כי שקר נסכו ולא־רוח בם׃ הבל המה מעשה תעתעים בעת פקדתם יאבדו׃ לא־כאלה חלק יעקב כי־יוצר הכל הוא וישראל שבט נחלתו יהוה צבאות שמו׃ ס אספי מארץ כנעתך במצור׃ ס כי־כה אמר יהוה הנני קולע את־יושבי הארץ בפעם הזאת והצרותי להם למען ימצאו׃ ס אוי לי על־שברי נחלה מכתי ואני אמרתי אך זה חלי ואשאנו׃ אהלי שדד וכל־מיתרי נתקו בני יצאני ואינם אין־נטה עוד אהלי ומקים יריעותי׃ כי נבערו הרעים ואת־יהוה לא דרשו על־כן לא השכילו וכל־מרעיתם נפוצה׃ ס קול שמועה הנה באה ורעש גדול מארץ צפון לשום את־ערי יהודה שממה מעון תנים׃ ס ידעתי יהוה כי לא לאדם דרכו לא־לאיש הלך והכין את־צעדו׃ יסרני יהוה אך־במשפט אל־באפך פן־תמעטני׃ שפך חמתך על־הגוים אשר לא־ידעוך ועל משפחות אשר בשמך לא קראו כי־אכלו את־יעקב ואכלהו ויכלהו ואת־נוהו השמו׃ ף

Jeremiah 10 Text (Latin) Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, domus Israël. Hæc dicit Dominus : Juxta vias gentium nolite discere, et a signis cæli nolite metuere quæ timent gentes, quia leges populorum vanæ sunt. Quia lignum de saltu præcidit opus manus artificis in ascia : argento et auro decoravit illud : clavis et malleis compegit, ut non dissolvatur : in similitudinem palmæ fabricata sunt, et non loquentur : portata tollentur, quia incedere non valent. Nolite ergo timere ea, quia nec male possunt facere nec bene. Non est similis tui, Domine : magnus es tu, et magnum nomen tuum in fortitudine. Quis non timebit te, o rex gentium ? Tuum est enim decus : inter cunctos sapientes gentium, et in universis regnis eorum, nullus est similis tui. Pariter insipientes et fatui probabuntur : doctrina vanitatis eorum lignum est. Argentum involutum de Tharsis affertur, et aurum de Ophaz : opus artificis et manus ærarii, hyacinthus et purpura indumentum eorum ; opus artificum universa hæc. Dominus autem Deus verus est, ipse Deus vivens, et rex sempiternus. Ab indignatione ejus commovebitur terra, et non sustinebunt gentes comminationem ejus. Sic ergo dicetis eis : Dii qui cælos et terram non fecerunt, pereant de terra et de his quæ sub cælo sunt ! Qui facit terram in fortitudine sua, præparat orbem in sapientia sua, et prudentia sua extendit cælos : ad vocem suam dat multitudinem aquarum in cælo, et elevat nebulas ab extremitatibus terræ : fulgura in pluviam facit, et educit ventum de thesauris suis. Stultus factus est omnis homo a scientia : confusus est artifex omnis in sculptili, quoniam falsum est quod conflavit, et non est spiritus in eis. Vana sunt, et opus risu dignum : in tempore visitationis suæ peribunt. Non est his similis pars Jacob : qui enim formavit omnia ipse est, et Israël virga hæreditatis ejus : Dominus exercituum nomen illi. Congrega de terra confusionem tuam, quæ habitas in obsidione : quia hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego longe projiciam habitatores terræ in hac vice, et tribulabo eos ita ut inveniantur. Væ mihi super contritione mea, pessima plaga mea : ego autem dixi : Plane hæc infirmitas mea est, et portabo illam. Tabernaculum meum vastatum est, omnes funiculi mei dirupti sunt : filii mei exierunt a me, et non subsistunt. Non est qui extendat ultra tentorium meum, et erigat pelles meas. Quia stulte egerunt pastores, et Dominus non quæsierunt : propterea non intellexerunt, et omnis grex eorum dispersus est. Vox auditionis ecce venit, et commotio magna de terra aquilonis, ut ponat civitates Juda solitudinem, et habitaculum draconum. Scio, Domine, quia non est hominis via ejus, nec viri est ut ambulet, et dirigat gressus suos. Corripe me, Domine, verumtamen in judicio, et non in furore tuo, ne forte ad nihilum redigas me. Effunde indignationem tuam super gentes quæ non cognoverunt te, et super provincias quæ nomen tuum non invocaverunt, quia comederunt Jacob, et devoraverunt eum, et consumpserunt illum, et decus ejus dissipaverunt.
Jeremiah 10 Text (KJV) 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. 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. 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. Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name. Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so. Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons. O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
