Jeremiah 51:17-19
Legacy Standard Bible
17 (A)All mankind is senseless, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image,
For his molten images are (B)a lie,
And there is no breath in them.
18 They are (C)vanity, a work of mockery;
In the time of their punishment they will perish.
19 The (D)portion of Jacob is not like these;
For the [a]Maker of all is He,
And of the [b]tribe of His inheritance;
(E)Yahweh of hosts is His name.

Jeremiah 51:17-19
English Standard Version
17 Every man is stupid and without knowledge;
every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
for his images are false,
and there is no breath in them.
18 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
19 Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob,
for he is the one who formed all things,
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
the Lord of hosts is his name.
