Jeremiah 51:17-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 Everyone is stupid and ignorant.
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his carved image,(A)
for his cast images are a lie;(B)
there is no breath in them.(C)
18 They are worthless,(D) a work to be mocked.
At the time of their punishment they will be destroyed.(E)
19 Jacob’s Portion[a] is not like these
because He is the One who formed all things.(F)
Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;(G)
Yahweh of Hosts is His name.(H)

Jeremiah 51:17-19
International Standard Version
17 Everyone is stupid[a] and without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his own idols,
for his images are false,[b]
and there is no life in them.
18 They’re worthless, a work of mockery,
and when the time of punishment comes,[c]
they’ll perish.
19 The Portion of Jacob[d] is not like these.
He made everything,
including the tribe of his inheritance.
The Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name.
