Letter of Jeremiah 1:59 Context
56Moreover they cannot withstand any king or enemies: how can it then be thought or said that they be gods? 57Neither are those gods of wood, and laid over with silver or gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers. 58Whose gold, and silver, and garments wherewith they are clothed, they that are strong take, and go away withal: neither are they able to help themselves. 59Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power, or else a profitable vessel in an house, which the owner shall have use of, than such false gods; or to be a door in an house, to keep such things therein, than such false gods. or a pillar of wood in a a palace, than such false gods. 60For sun, moon, and stars, being bright and sent to do their offices, are obedient. 61In like manner the lightning when it breaketh forth is easy to be seen; and after the same manner the wind bloweth in every country. 62And when God commandeth the clouds to go over the whole world, they do as they are bidden.
"Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power, or else a profitable vessel in an house, which the owner shall have use of, than such false gods; or to be a door in an house, to keep such things therein, than such false gods. or a pillar of wood in a a palace, than such false gods."
