Jeremiah 51:17-19
Lexham English Bible
Jeremiah 51:17-19
Lexham English Bible
17 All humankind turns out to be stupid,
without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is put to shame
by the divine image.
For his cast image is a lie,
and there is no breath in them.
18 They are worthless,
a work of mockery.
At the time of their punishment,
they will perish.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the creator of everything,[a]
and the tribe of his inheritance.
Yahweh of hosts is his name.

Jeremiah 51:17-19
New Living Translation
17 The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge!
The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make,
for their carefully shaped works are a fraud.
These idols have no breath or power.
18 Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!
On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.
19 But the God of Israel[a] is no idol!
He is the Creator of everything that exists,
including his people, his own special possession.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

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.
