Letter of Jeremiah 1:53

Letter of Jeremiah 1:53 Context

⁵⁰For seeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with silver and gold, it shall be known hereafter that they are false: ⁵¹And it shall manifestly appear to all nations and kings that they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them. ⁵²Who then may not know that they are no gods? ⁵³For neither can they set up a king in the land, nor give rain unto men. ⁵⁴Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a wrong, being unable: for they are as crows between heaven and earth. ⁵⁵Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods of wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests will flee away, and escape; but they themselves shall be burned asunder like beams. ⁵⁶Moreover they cannot withstand any king or enemies: how can it then be thought or said that they be gods?
