He preached against heathen practices that God’s people had
assimilated into their lives. Jeremiah was not a popular prophet.
"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen,
and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at
them.
“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.
“They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with
nails and with hammers, that it move not.
“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." - Jeremiah 10:2-5 KJV
