Letter of Jeremiah 1:11

11 And these gods cannot defend themselves from the rust, and the moth.

Letter of Jeremiah 1:11 In-Context

9 Their gods have golden crowns upon their heads: whereof the priests secretly convey away from them gold, and silver, and bestow it on themselves.

10 Yea and they give thereof to prostitutes, and they dress out harlots: and again when they receive it of the harlots, they adorn their gods.

11 And these gods cannot defend themselves from the rust, and the moth.

12 But when they have covered them with a purple garment, they wipe their face because of the dust of the house, which is very much among them.

13 This holdeth a sceptre as a man, as a judge of the country, but cannot put to death one that offendeth him.
