Jeremiah 10:5 - King James Version (Oxford) 1769They 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. See the chapterMore versionsAmplified Bible - Classic Edition[Their idols] are like pillars of turned work [as upright and stationary and immobile as a palm tree], like scarecrows in a cucumber field; they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it possible for them to do good [and it is not in them]. See the chapterAmerican Standard Version (1901)They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good. See the chapterCommon English BibleThey are no different than a scarecrow in a cucumber patch: they can’t speak; they must be carried because they can’t walk. Don’t be afraid of them, because they can’t do harm or good. See the chapterCatholic Public Domain VersionThey have been fabricated in the likeness of a palm tree, and they will not speak. They must be carried to be moved, because they do not have the ability to walk. Therefore, do not be willing to fear them, for they can do neither evil nor good." See the chapterDouay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionThey are framed after the likeness of a palm-tree, and shall not speak: they must be carried to be removed, because they cannot go.
