Jeremiah 10:5

ALL

Jeremiah 10:5

And they cannot speak;
They must be carried,
Because they cannot walk!
Do not fear them,
For they can do no harm,
Nor can they do any good.”

Isaiah 46:7

They set it in its place and it stands there.
It does not move from its place.

It cannot deliver him from his distress.

That we may know that you are gods;
Indeed, do good or evil, that we may anxiously look about us and fear together.

Their images are consigned to the beasts and the cattle.
The things that you carry are burdensome,
A load for the weary beast.

To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’

And there is no breath at all inside it.

Draw near together, you fugitives of the nations;
