Letter of Jeremiah 1:31

31 They howl and shout in front of their gods as some do at a funeral feast for the dead.

Letter of Jeremiah 1:31 In-Context

29 Why call them gods? Because women place food before these gods of silver, gold, and wood?

30 Or because the priests sit in their temples with their garments torn, with their heads and beards shaved, and their heads uncovered?

31 They howl and shout in front of their gods as some do at a funeral feast for the dead.

32 Yet the priests take the gods' clothing to dress their wives and children.

33 Whether one treats them badly or well, the gods aren't able to repay in kind. They aren't able to install or remove a ruler.
