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
International Standard Version
17 Everyone is stupid[a] and without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his own idols,
for his images are false,[b]
and there is no life in them.
18 They’re worthless, a work of mockery,
and when the time of punishment comes,[c]
they’ll perish.
19 The Portion of Jacob[d] is not like these.
He made everything,
including the tribe of his inheritance.
The Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name.
