Letter of Jeremiah 6:4 In-Context

2 Because of the sins that you have committed before God, you will be taken to Babylon as exiles by Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Babylonians.

3 Therefore when you have come to Babylon you will remain there for many years, for a long time, up to seven generations; after that I will bring you away from there in peace.

4 Now in Babylon you will see gods made of silver and gold and wood, which people carry on their shoulders, and which cause the heathen to fear.

5 So beware of becoming at all like the foreigners or of letting fear for these gods possess you

6 when you see the multitude before and behind them worshiping them. But say in your heart, "It is you, O Lord, whom we must worship."
