They 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.”

Jeremiah 10:5 · WEB

This verse in other languages

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૧૦:૫
તે કાકડીની વાડીના સ્તંભ જેવી છે. મૂર્તિઓ બોલતી નથી, તેઓને ઉપાડવી પડે છે. કેમ કે તેઓ ચાલી શકતી નથી. તેઓથી ન બીઓ. કેમ કે તેઓ ભૂંડું કરી શકે નહિ. તેમ જ ભલું પણ કરી શકતી નથી.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह १०:५
वे ककड़ी के खेत में खड़े पुतले के समान हैं, पर वे बोल नहीं सकतीं; उन्हें उठाए फिरना पड़ता है, क्योंकि वे चल नहीं सकतीं। उनसे मत डरो, क्योंकि, न तो वे कुछ बुरा कर सकती हैं और न कुछ भला।”

In context

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.

7Who shouldn’t fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.
