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.

17 Everyone is stupid and ignorant.
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his carved image,(A)
for his cast images are a lie;(B)
there is no breath in them.(C)

At the time of their punishment they will be destroyed.(E)
19 Jacob’s Portion[a] is not like these
because He is the One who formed all things.(F)
Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;(G)
Yahweh of Hosts is His name.(H)
