Letter of Jeremiah 25
Print
Since they have no feet, others carry them on their shoulders, demonstrating their worthlessness to people. Their servants are ashamed, since the idols fall to the ground unless they steady them and hold them up.
They are bought without regard to cost, but there is no breath in them.
Having no feet, they are carried on the shoulders of others, revealing to humans their worthlessness. And those who serve them are put to shame
They are bought at any cost, but there is no breath in them.
They be bought of all price (or for a very high price), in which no spirit (or breath) is in them. [They be bought of all price, in which things spirit is not in them.]
