Baruch 6:14

14 And he that cannot put to death one who offendeth him, holdeth a scepter as though he were a judge of the country.

Baruch 6:14 In-Context

12 Yet cannot these gods save themselves from rust and moths, though they be covered with purple raiment!

13 They wipe their faces because of the dust of the temple, when there is much upon them.

14 And he that cannot put to death one who offendeth him, holdeth a scepter as though he were a judge of the country.

15 He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an ax, but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves.

16 Thereby they are known not to be gods: therefore fear them not.
