Letter of Jeremiah 1:14 Context
12Yet cannot these gods saue themselues from rust and moths, though they be couered with purple raiment. 13They wipe their faces because of the dust of the Temple, when there is much vpon them. 14And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him, holdeth a scepter as though hee were a iudge of the countrey. 15Hee hath also in his right hand a dagger, and an axe: but cannot deliuer himselfe from warre and theeues. 16Whereby they are knowen not to bee gods, therefore feare them not.
