Jeremiah 10:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ Who would not fear you, O King of the nations?
    For that is your due;
among all the wise ones of the nations
    and in all their kingdoms
    there is no one like you.
⁸ They are both stupid and foolish;
    the instruction given by idols
    is no better than wood!^[a]
9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,
    and gold from Uphaz.
They are the work of the artisan and of the hands of the goldsmith;
    their clothing is blue and purple;
    they are all the product of skilled workers.
