Jeremiah 51:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ “People are so stupid and know so little.
    Goldsmiths are ·made ashamed [humiliated] by their idols,
because those statues are ·only false gods [^Ldeceptive].
    They have no breath in them.
¹⁸ They are worth nothing; ·people make fun of them [or works of delusion].
    ·When they are judged [^LAt the time of their punishment], they will be destroyed.
¹⁹ But Jacob’s Portion [^CGod] is not like the idols.
    He ·made [formed; shaped] everything,
and ·he chose Israel to be his special people [Israel is the tribe of his inheritance].
    The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] is his name.
