25 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;

Jeremiah 10 Intro: The unequal comparison of God and idols -- The prophet lamenteth the spoil of the tabernacle.
1 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel;
2 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.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 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.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7 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.
