Letter of Jeremiah 68-70

Wycliffe Bible

⁶⁸ Beasts that may (or be able to) fly under a roof, and do profit to themselves, be better than they. [Beasts be better than they, which may fly under a roof, and profit to themselves.]

⁶⁹ Therefore by no manner it is open to you, that they be gods. For which thing, dread ye not them. [And so by no manner it is known to you, for they be gods. For which thing dread ye not them.]

⁷⁰ For why as a man of rags, or shoeless, in a place where gourds [or cucumbers, that be bitter herbs], waxed, keepeth nothing, so be their gods of tree (or of wood), and of silver, and of gold.
