Jeremiah 51:17-19
World English Bible
17 “Every man has become brutish without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image;
for his molten image is falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
18 They are vanity,
a work of delusion.
In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these,
for he is the former of all things;
including the tribe of his inheritance:
Yahweh of Armies is his name.
