Letter of Jeremiah 1:38

Letter of Jeremiah 1:38 Context

³⁵In like manner, they can neither give riches nor money: though a man make a vow unto them, and keep it not, they will not require it. ³⁶They can save no man from death, neither deliver the weak from the mighty. ³⁷They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, nor help any man in his distress. ³⁸They can shew no mercy to the widow, nor do good to the fatherless. ³⁹Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain: they that worship them shall be confounded. ⁴⁰How should a man then think and say that they are gods, when even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them? ⁴¹Who if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, they bring him, and intreat Bel that he may speak, as though he were able to understand.
