For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Las tradiciones y prácticas de estos pueblos son vacías y sin valor. Alguien corta un árbol del bosque, y un artesano lo moldea con su hacha.
Las tradiciones humanas que no honran a Dios son vacías, como ídolos hechos de madera cortada del bosque.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 7th century BC, the prophet Jeremiah lived in Judah during a time of spiritual decline, as the nation faced threats from powerful empires like Babylon and was tempted by the idolatrous practices of surrounding cultures. He specifically criticized the custom of making idols from trees, which involved cutting wood in the forest and carving it by hand, to highlight how these man-made objects were powerless and foolish compared to the Creator God. This warning was part of Jeremiah's broader message urging Judah to return to faithful worship amid impending judgment.
