Letter of Jeremiah 38
Print
These wooden things covered in gold and silver are like stones from a mountain. Their servants will be humiliated.
They cannot take pity on a widow or do good to an orphan.
These things that are made of wood and overlaid with gold and silver are like stones from the mountain, and those who serve them will be put to shame.
They cannot take pity on a widow or do good to an orphan.
They shall not have mercy on a widow, neither they shall do good to fatherless children. [They shall not have mercy of the widow, neither they shall do well to the fatherless and motherless.]
