Letter of Jeremiah 1:47

47 These people leave nothing but deceit and disgrace as an inheritance for future generations.

Letter of Jeremiah 1:47 In-Context

45 Woodworkers and goldsmiths make these gods, so they can never be anything other than what these people want them to be.
46 Even their makers do not live long lives, so how are they able to create gods?
47 These people leave nothing but deceit and disgrace as an inheritance for future generations.
48 When wars and disturbances come, the priests plan where they can go into hiding with their gods.
49 These idols are helpless in the face of wars and disturbances. Why can't people realize that these idols are not gods?
