Jeremiah 51:17-19
Expanded Bible
17 “People are so stupid and know so little.
Goldsmiths are ·made ashamed [humiliated] by their idols,
because those statues are ·only false gods [L deceptive].
They have no breath in them.
18 They are worth nothing; ·people make fun of them [or works of delusion].
·When they are judged [L At the time of their punishment], they will be destroyed.
19 But Jacob’s Portion [C God] is not like the idols.
He ·made [formed; shaped] everything,
and ·he chose Israel to be his special people [Israel is the tribe of his inheritance].
The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] is his name.
Jeremiah 51:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 (A)Every person is stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his [a]idols,
For his cast metal images are (B)deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.
18 They are (C)worthless, a work of mockery;
At the time of their punishment they will perish.
19 The (D)portion of Jacob is not like these;
For He is the [b]Maker of everything,
And of the [c]tribe of His inheritance;
The (E)Lord of armies is His name.
