Letter of Jeremiah 56

CEB
So why should anyone consider or call them gods?
NRSVA
Besides, they can offer no resistance to king or enemy. Why then must anyone admit or think that they are gods?
NRSVUE
Gods made of wood and overlaid with silver and gold are unable to save themselves from thieves or robbers.
RSV
Besides, they can offer no resistance to a king or any enemies. Why then must any one admit or think that they are gods?
WYC
Forsooth they shall not against-stand a king and battle. How therefore is it to guess, or to receive, that they be gods? [Forsooth they shall not against-stand a king and battle. How therefore is it to be guessed, or to be received, for they be gods?]
