Jer. 10:5
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.

Jer. 10:19
Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
