Jeremiah 10:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵Their idols^[a] are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
    and they cannot speak;
they have to be carried,
    for they cannot walk.
Be not afraid of them,
    for they cannot do evil,
    neither is it in them to do good.”

⁶There is none like thee, O Lord;
    thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
⁷Who would not fear thee, O King of the nations?
    For this is thy due;
for among all the wise ones of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms
    there is none like thee.
