Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Heare ye the word which the Lord speaketh vnto you, O house of Israel.

² Thus sayeth the Lord, Learne not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signes of heauen, for the heathen are dismayed at them.

³ For the customes of the people are vaine: for one cutteth a tree out of the forrest (the worke of the handes of the workeman) with the axe.

⁴ They decke it with siluer and with golde, they fasten it with nayles, and with hammers that it mooue not.

⁵ They are vpright as the palme tree, but speake not: they must needes bee borne, because they cannot goe: be not afraid of them, for they cannot doe euil, neither also is it in them to doe good.

⁶ Forasmuch as there is none like vnto thee, O Lord, thou art great, and thy Name is great in might.

⁷ Who would not feare thee, O King of nations? for to thee doeth it appertaine: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdomes, there is none like vnto thee.

⁸ But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stocke is a doctrine of vanities.

⁹ Siluer spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the worke of the workeman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the worke of cunning men.

¹⁰ But the Lord is the true God, he is the liuing God, and an euerlasting King: at his wrath the earth shal tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

¹¹ Thus shal ye say vnto them, The Gods that haue not made the heauens, & the earth, euen they shall perish from the earth, & from vnder these heauens.

¹² Hee hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauens by his discretion.

¹³ When he vttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heauens, and hee causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: hee maketh lightnings with raine, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

¹⁴ Euery man is brutish in his knowledge, euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his moulten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵ They are vanity, and the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

¹⁶ The portion of Iacob is not like them: for he is the fourmer of all things, and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name.

¹⁷ ¶ Gather vp thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortresse.

¹⁸ For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distresse them, that they may find it so.

¹⁹ ¶ Woe is mee for my hurt, my wound is grieuous: but I sayd, Truely this is a griefe, and I must beare it.

²⁰ My Tabernacle is spoyled, and all my cordes are broken: my children are gone foorth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch foorth my tent any more, and to set vp my curtaines.

²¹ For the Pastours are become brutish, and haue not sought the Lord: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flockes shall be scattered.

²² Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the North countrey, to make the cities of Iudah desolate, and a denne of dragons.

²³ ¶ O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himselfe: it is not in man that walketh, to direct his steps.

²⁴ O Lord, correct mee, but with iudgement, not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

²⁵ Powre out thy fury vpon the heathen that know thee not, and vpon the families that call not on thy Name: for they haue eaten vp Iacob, and deuoured him, and consumed him, and haue made his habitation desolate.

Carrol's Jeremiah Chapter 10 comment about verse 24 on 4/25/2013, 9:50pm...

I want the Lord's correction. However, I fear that if I get what I deserve, it would kill me. So this is a good verse to pray.

John's Jeremiah Chapter 10 comment about verse 23 on 3/20/2013, 3:26pm...

I think that Jeremiah 10:23 is an important verse that reveals the truth that the freewill of man is not a bible based teaching. This verse, along with many others proves that God's sovereign will alone is free and that man's will is subservient to His will. We are responsible to God not because we are free, but because God has decreed to hold us responsible for the actions which He has so decreed that we would perform from all eternity. Proverbs 20:24: “Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?” (KJV). Proverbs 16:1, “The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD” (KJV). Psalms 37:23, “The steps of a man are established by the LORD; and He delights in his way” (NAS). Proverbs 16:9 9, “The mind of man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps” (NAS) Isaiah 46:10, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure” (KJV). Dan 4:35, "And all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, but He does according to His will in the host of heaven and (among) the inhabitants of earth; and no one can ward off His hand or say to Him, 'What hast Thou done?'” (NAS). Rom 9:19 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?” (KJV). Genesis 45:7-8, “(7) And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. (8) So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt” (KJV). Acts 4:27-28 “(27) For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, (28) For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done” (KJV).

Carol's Jeremiah Chapter 10 comment on 3/15/2013, 5:59am...

I believe that such holidays are Satan based, if God had meant for us to celebrate Christmas he surely would have made clear the date of Jesus' birthday. Easter? Where is it written that we are to celebrate His resurrection? It is written that we are to celebrate His sacrifice for mankind though.

Sis cil's Jeremiah Chapter 10 comment on 3/08/2013, 10:30am...

Jeremiah was letting us know that to cut trees down and deck it with ornaments and other shining things is vanity. We as people of God should not get into Christmas trees and saying we are children of God. People lie and say that it is Christ birthday, no, it is not his birthday and he told us to remember his death, how he died for our sins. This is a way to get Christian minds off of Christ into falsies.

Joy's Jeremiah Chapter 10 comment about verse 23 on 2/27/2013, 6:43am...

This shows that Jeremiah had love for Jehovah and equally put faith in him. He feared Jehovah and served him with his heart.

Yuki's Jeremiah Chapter 10 comment on 12/12/2012, 6:42am...

Hello Christians. I bid you a Good Yule.

Deborah's Jeremiah Chapter 10 comment on 12/04/2012, 10:13am...

I think that the tree represents a dead man and my Lord Jesus Christ isn't dead.

Carl's Jeremiah Chapter 10 comment about verse 2 on 11/09/2012, 7:08pm...

The verse is meant to reveal the absolute disgust Yehovah has with people who chose to follow empty idolatry, instead of entering into the fulfilling worship of Him and His ways. It actually does not go as far as the verse I believe is in Ezekiel that then states "..and do not do these things saying you are doing them unto Me. It is an abomination unto the LORD (Yahovah) your God (Elohim)."
