Jeremiah 51:17-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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)
18 They are worthless,(D) a work to be mocked.
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)

Jeremiah 51:17-19
Common English Bible
17 Everyone is too foolish to understand;
every smith is shamed by his idols,
for their images are shams;
they aren’t alive.
18 They are a delusion, a charade;
at the appointed time they will be ruined!
19 But the portion of Jacob is utterly different,
for he has formed all things,
including his very own tribe;
the Lord of heavenly forces is his name!
