Letter of Jeremiah 1:39 Context
37They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, nor helpe any man in his distresse. 38They can shew no mercie to the widow: nor doe good to the fatherlesse. 39Their gods of wood, and which are ouerlaid with gold, and siluer, are like the stones that be hewen out of the mountaine: they that worship them shall be confounded. 40How should a man then thinke and say that they are gods? when euen the Chaldeans thēselues dishonor them. 41Who if they shall see one dumbe that cannot speake, they bring him and intreate Bel that he may speake, as though he were able to vnderstand.
