ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૧૦:૪
એ મૂર્તિને તેઓ સોનારૂપાથી શણગારે છે. અને તે હાલે નહિ, માટે તેને હથોડાથી ખીલા મારીને બેસાડે છે.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह १०:४
लोग उसको सोने-चाँदी से सजाते और हथौड़े से कील ठोंक-ठोंककर दृढ़ करते हैं कि वह हिल-डुल न सके।

In context

2The LORD says, “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.

3For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.

4They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it can’t move.

5They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak. They must be carried, because they can’t move. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”

6There is no one like you, LORD. You are great, and your name is great in might.
