Letter of Jeremiah 1:67

67 Beasts are better than they, which can fly under a covert, and help themselves.

Letter of Jeremiah 1:67 In-Context

65 For neither can they curse kings, nor bless them.
66 Neither do they shew signs in the heaven to the nations, nor shine as the sun, nor give light as the moon.
67 Beasts are better than they, which can fly under a covert, and help themselves.
68 Therefore there is no manner of appearance that they are gods: so fear them not.
69 For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing, so are their gods of wood, and of silver, and laid over with gold.
