Baruch 6:53-55

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵³ For they cannot set up a king over a country or give rain to men. ⁵⁴ They cannot judge their own cause or deliver one who is wronged, for they have no power; they are like crows between heaven and earth. ⁵⁵ When fire breaks out in a temple of wooden gods overlaid with gold or silver, their priests will flee and escape, but the gods^[a] will be burnt in two like beams.
