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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 Everyone is stupid and without knowledge;
goldsmiths are all put to shame by their idols,
for their images are false,
and there is no breath in them.(A)
18 They are worthless, a work of delusion;
at the time of their punishment they shall perish.(B)
19 Not like these is the portion of Jacob,
for he is the one who formed all things,
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;
the Lord of hosts is his name.(C)
