Letter of Jeremiah 1:7

Letter of Jeremiah 1:7 Context

⁴Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the nations to fear. ⁵Beware therefore that ye in no wise be like to strangers, neither be ye and of them, when ye see the multitude before them and behind them, worshipping them. ⁶But say ye in your hearts, O Lord, we must worship thee. ⁷For mine angel is with you, and I myself caring for your souls. ⁸As for their tongue, it is polished by the workman, and they themselves are gilded and laid over with silver; yet are they but false, and cannot speak. ⁹And taking gold, as it were for a virgin that loveth to go gay, they make crowns for the heads of their gods. ¹⁰Sometimes also the priests convey from their gods gold and silver, and bestow it upon themselves.
