Letter of Jeremiah 68-70

Revised Standard Version

⁶⁸ The wild beasts are better than they are, for they can flee to cover and help themselves. ⁶⁹ So we have no evidence whatever that they are gods; therefore do not fear them.

⁷⁰ Like a scarecrow in a cucumber bed, that guards nothing, so are their gods of wood, overlaid with gold and silver.
