Letter of Jeremiah 1:33

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.

Letter of Jeremiah 1:33 In-Context

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.

34 They can't give either wealth or money. If someone makes a solemn promise and doesn't keep it, they can't enforce it.

35 They can't save a person from death or rescue a weak person from a strong one.
