Every man has become brutish and without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image;
for his molten image is falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Jeremiah 10:14 in context
Jeremiah 10:11–17
11
“You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
12
God 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.
13
When he utters his voice,
the waters in the heavens roar,
and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightnings for the rain,
and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
14
Selected verse
Every man has become brutish and without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image;
for his molten image is falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
15
They are vanity, a work of delusion.
In the time of their visitation they will perish.
16
The portion of Jacob is not like these;
for he is the maker of all things;
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance.
The LORD of Armies is his name.
17
Gather up your wares out of the land,
you who live under siege.
