Letter of Jeremiah 1:41 Context
38They can shew no mercy to the widow, nor do good to the fatherless. 39Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain: they that worship them shall be confounded. 40How should a man then think and say that they are gods, when even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them? 41Who if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, they bring him, and intreat Bel that he may speak, as though he were able to understand. 42Yet they cannot understand this themselves, and leave them: for they have no knowledge. 43The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, burn bran for perfume: but if any of them, drawn by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken. 44Whatsoever is done among them is false: how may it then be thought or said that they are gods?
