Letter of Jeremiah 1:38

38 These wooden things covered in gold and silver are like stones from a mountain. Their servants will be humiliated.

Letter of Jeremiah 1:38 In-Context

36 They can't restore sight to the blind or rescue a person in an emergency.

37 They can't show mercy to a widow, nor can they do any good for an orphan.

38 These wooden things covered in gold and silver are like stones from a mountain. Their servants will be humiliated.

39 So why should anyone consider or call them gods?

40 In addition, even the Chaldeans dishonor them. When they see a person who is unable to speak, they bring out Bel and expect Bel to make a sound as if he were able to understand.
