Jeremiah 51:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 (A)Every person is stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his [a]idols,
For his cast metal images are (B)deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.
18 They are (C)worthless, a work of mockery;
At the time of their punishment they will perish.
19 The (D)portion of Jacob is not like these;
For He is the [b]Maker of everything,
And of the [c]tribe of His inheritance;
The (E)Lord of armies is His name.

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.
