Jeremiah 10:5

Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field , and 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 in them to do good .

Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good.”

They 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.
