Jeremiah 10

YHWH warns the house of Israel against idolatry, consulting the heavens, worshipping trees, and making graven images, declaring that false gods did not create the heavens and earth.[1][3] YHWH expresses woe for His hurt yet destructive anger, as a great commotion from the north devours Jacob.[1][3]
