Letter of Jeremiah 1:45 Context
43The women also with cordes aboue them, sitting in the wayes, burne branne for perfume: but if any of them drawen by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow that she was not thought as worthy as her selfe, nor her cord broken. 44Whatsoeuer is done among them is false: how may it then be thought or said that they are gods? 45They are made of carpenters, and goldsmiths, they can be nothing else, then the workman will haue them to be. 46And they themselues that made them, can neuer continue long, how should then the things that are made of them, be gods? 47For they left lies and reproaches to them that come after.
