Jeremiah 51:17-19
Amplified Bible
17
Every man has become stupid and brutelike, without knowledge [of God];
Every goldsmith is shamed by the cast images he has made;
For his molten idols are a lie,
And there is no breath [of life] or spirit in them.
18
They are worthless (empty, false, futile), a work of delusion and worthy of derision;
In the time of their inspection and punishment they will perish.
19
The Portion of Jacob [the true God of Israel] is not like these [handmade gods];
For He is the Maker of all and the One who formed and fashioned all things,
And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance—
The Lord of hosts is His name.(A)
Jeremiah 51:17-19
New International Version
17 “Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.
The images he makes are a fraud;(A)
they have no breath in them.
18 They are worthless,(B) the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish.
19 He who is the Portion(C) of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the Maker of all things,
including the people of his inheritance(D)—
the Lord Almighty is his name.
