Then they are fastened with hammers and nails to prevent them from toppling.

Do not be afraid of them, for they can do no harm, nor do they have any power to do good. Jeremiah 10:3-5	For 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. They deck it with silver and with gold.

Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good. idols fear
