Jeremiah 51:17-19
New Living Translation
17 The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge!
The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make,
for their carefully shaped works are a fraud.
These idols have no breath or power.
18 Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies!
On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.
19 But the God of Israel[a] is no idol!
He is the Creator of everything that exists,
including his people, his own special possession.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
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.
