Letter of Jeremiah 1:47 In-Context

47 These designers leave behind something fake and disgraceful for those who come after them.

48 When war or disasters come, the priests consult with each other about where they may hide along with the idols.

49 So how can one not grasp that they aren't gods? They can't save themselves from war or other disasters.
