Jeremiah 10:8
Compare all
6 Inasmuch as there is none alike You, O Lord
(You are great, and Your name is great in might), 
7 aWho would not fear You, O King of the nations?
For this is Your rightful due.
For bamong all the wise men of the nations,
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You. 
8 But they are altogether adull-hearted and foolish;
A wooden idol is a1 worthless doctrine. 
9 Silver is beaten into plates;
It is brought from Tarshish,
And agold from Uphaz,
The work of the craftsman
And of the hands of the metalsmith;
Blue and purple are their clothing;
They are all bthe work of skillful men. 
10 But the Lord is the true God;
He is athe living God and the beverlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.  
11 Thus you shall say to them: a“The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth bshall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.” 
12 He ahas made the earth by His power,
He has bestablished the world by His wisdom,
And chas stretched out the heavens at His discretion.

Jeremiah 10:8

Brutish - Jeremiah 10:21 and foolish Theirs was the brutishness of men in a savage state, little better than mere animals: their folly that of stupidity.

The stock ... - Rather, the instruction of idols is a piece of wood. That is what they are themselves, and "ex nihilo nihil fit" (from nothingness, nothing is made).
