Letter of Jeremiah 1:48

48 When war or disasters come, the priests consult with each other about where they may hide along with the idols.

Letter of Jeremiah 1:48 In-Context

46 Their creators won't live long themselves, so how can the things they have made be gods?
47 These designers leave behind something fake and disgraceful for those who come after them.
48 When war or disasters come, the priests consult with each other about where they may hide along with the idols.
49 So how can one not grasp that they aren't gods? They can't save themselves from war or other disasters.
50 After such events as this, the idols, made of wood and covered in gold and silver, will be recognized as fake. It will be clear to the nations and to the rulers that they aren't gods but human creations. There's nothing divine about them.
