Baruch 6:59

59 Therefore it is better to be a king who showeth his power or else a profitable vessel in a house, which the owner shall have use of, than such false gods; or to be a door in a house to keep such things safe as be therein, than such false gods; or a pillar of wood in a palace, than such false gods.

Baruch 6:59 In-Context

57 Neither are those gods of wood, and overlaid with silver or gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers. 6:ÃÃÃÃÄÄÄÄ58 Their gold and silver and garments wherewith they are clothed, those who are strong take and go away with them; neither are they able to help themselves.

59 Therefore it is better to be a king who showeth his power or else a profitable vessel in a house, which the owner shall have use of, than such false gods; or to be a door in a house to keep such things safe as be therein, than such false gods; or a pillar of wood in a palace, than such false gods.

60 For sun, moon and stars, being bright and sent to do their offices, are obedient.

61 In like manner the lightning, when it breaketh forth, is easy to be seen; and in the same manner the wind bloweth in every country.
