Thus says the Lord: Do not learn the way of the Gentiles... for the customs of the people are futile; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it will not topple. They are upright like a palm tree, and they cannot speak... (Jer 10:2-5, NKJV).
