Jer 10:3  For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 

Jer 10:4  They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 

Jer 10:5  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.

Jer 10:25  Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate. 

 

Jer 11:1  The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 

Jer 11:2  Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 

Jer 11:3  And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, 

Jer 11:4  Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: 

Jer 11:5  That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD. 

Jer 11:6  Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. 

Jer 11:7  For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 

Jer 11:8  Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not. 

Jer 11:9  And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 

Jer 11:10  They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. 

Jer 11:11  Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. 

Jer 11:12  Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. 

Jer 11:13  For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal. 

Jer 11:14  Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

Psa 78:56  Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: 

Psa 78:57  But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 

Psa 78:58  For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. 

Psa 78:59  When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 

Psa 78:60  So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; 

Psa 78:61  And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. 

Psa 78:62  He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. 

Psa 78:63  The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. 

Psa 78:64  Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. 

Psa 78:65  Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. 

Psa 78:66  And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach. 

Psa 78:67  Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 

Psa 78:68  But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. 

Psa 78:69  And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

Psa 78:71  From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
