Jeremiah 51:17-19
World English Bible
17 “Every man has become brutish without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image;
for his molten image is falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
18 They are vanity,
a work of delusion.
In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the former of all things;
including the tribe of his inheritance:
Yahweh of Armies is his name.
Jeremiah 51:17-19

Every goldsmith is put to shame by his carved image,(A)

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)

Yahweh of Hosts is His name.(H)
