One of these things is not like the other. This phrase is often used to point out what should be an obvious difference in things. Jeremiah is saying, Look at the gods the nations around are worshiping. They are nothing but wood and metal that people create. They don't talk or have power. God, on the other hand, made the universe. He is uncreated. The obvious answer is, Why are you worshiping these things? Today, we in the West may not worship carved idols, but often we do worship or at least serve Idols we make with our own hands. We serve money, family, organizations, and countries that men have made, and they are just as foolish to worship as an idol made of wood.
