Letter of Jeremiah 1:31

Letter of Jeremiah 1:31 Context

²⁸As for the things that are sacrificed unto them, their priests sell and abuse; in like manner their wives lay up part thereof in salt; but unto the poor and impotent they give nothing of it. ²⁹Menstruous women and women in childbed eat their sacrifices: by these things ye may know that they are no gods: fear them not. ³⁰For how can they be called gods? because women set meat before the gods of silver, gold, and wood. ³¹And the priests sit in their temples, having their clothes rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads. ³²They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead. ³³The priests also take off their garments, and clothe their wives and children. ³⁴Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: they can neither set up a king, nor put him down.
