Letter of Jeremiah 1:39

39 So why should anyone consider or call them gods?

Letter of Jeremiah 1:39 In-Context

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.

41 Even after observing this, the Chaldeans themselves are unable to abandon the idols because they have no sense.
