Letter of Jeremiah 8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ The Gentiles take gold and place crowns on their gods’ heads, like a young girl playing dress up. ⁹ Sometimes the priests secretly take away the gold and silver from their gods to spend on themselves and give to prostitutes in the brothels. ¹⁰ The Gentiles dress these gods of silver, gold, and wood with clothing just like people. But these idols can’t be rescued from rust and rotting.^[a]
