Jeremiah 10:15

A Hymn Of Praise To God

¹⁴
Every man has become [like a brute] irrational and stupid, without knowledge [of God];
Every goldsmith is shamed by his carved idols;
For his molten images are frauds and lies,
And there is no breath in them.
¹⁵ 
They are worthless and devoid of promise, a work of delusion and mockery;
In their time of [trial and] punishment they will perish [without hope].
¹⁶
The Portion of Jacob [the true God on whom Israel has a claim] is not like these;
For He is the Designer and Maker of all things,
And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance [and He will not fail them]—
The Lord of hosts is His name.

Time is Coming

Are there any among the idols of the nations who can send rain?
Or can the heavens [of their own will] give showers?
Is it not You, O Lord our God?
Therefore we will wait and hope [confidently] in You,
For You are the one who has made all these things [the heavens and the rain].

Jeremiah 8:12

“Were they ashamed because of the extremely disgusting and shamefully vile things they had done?

At the time of their punishment they shall be overthrown,”
Says the Lord.

Jeremiah 8:19

Behold, [hear the sound of] the cry of the daughter of my people from the distant land [of Babylon]:
