Letter of Jeremiah 1:71 Context
69It is then by no meanes manifest vnto vs that they are gods: therefore feare them not. 70For as a scarcrow in a garden of Cucumbers keepeth nothing: so are their gods of wood, and laid ouer with siluer and gold. 71And likewise their gods of wood, and laid ouer with siluer and gold, are like to a white thorne in an orchard that euery bird sitteth vpon: as also to a dead body, that is cast into the darke. 72And you shall know them to be no gods, by the bright purple that rotteth vpon them: and they themselues afterward shall be eaten, and shall be a reproach in the country. 73Better therefore is the iust man that hath none idoles: for he shall be farre from reproach.
