Letter of Jeremiah 68-70

Common English Bible

⁶⁸ It is obvious to us that the idols aren’t gods. So don’t be afraid of them.

⁶⁹ As a scarecrow in a cucumber field offers no protection, so do^[a] their wooden gods covered in gold and silver. ⁷⁰ In the same way, their wooden gods covered in gold and silver could be compared to a briar patch where every bird perches or to a dead body thrown out into the darkness.
