Letter of Jeremiah 15-17

Revised Standard Version

¹⁵ It has a dagger in its right hand, and has an axe; but it cannot save itself from war and robbers. ¹⁶ Therefore they evidently are not gods; so do not fear them.

¹⁷ For just as one’s dish is useless when it is broken, so are the gods of the heathen,^[a] when they have been set up in the temples. Their eyes are full of the dust raised by the feet of those who enter.
