Letter of Jeremiah 1:15 Context
13They wipe their faces because of the dust of the Temple, when there is much vpon them. 14And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him, holdeth a scepter as though hee were a iudge of the countrey. 15Hee hath also in his right hand a dagger, and an axe: but cannot deliuer himselfe from warre and theeues. 16Whereby they are knowen not to bee gods, therefore feare them not. 17For like as a vessell that a man vseth, is nothing worth when it is broken: euen so it is with their gods: when they be set vp in the Temple, their eyes be full of dust, thorow the feet of them that come in.
