fatherless. EpJer 6:39 Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain: they that worship them shall be confounded. EpJer 6:40 How should a man then think and say that they are gods, when even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them? EpJer 6:41 Who if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, they bring him, and intreat Bel that he may speak, as though he were able to understand. EpJer 6:42 Yet they cannot understand this themselves, and leave them: for they have no knowledge. EpJer 6:43 The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, burn bran for perfume: but if any of them, drawn by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken. EpJer 6:44 Whatsoever is done among them is false: how may it then be thought or said that they are gods? EpJer 6:45 They are made of carpenters and goldsmiths: they can be nothing else than the workmen will have them to be. EpJer 6:46 And they themselves that made them can never continue long; how should then the things that are made of them be gods? EpJer 6:47 For they left lies and reproaches to them that come after.

EpJer 6:49 How then cannot men perceive that they be no gods, which can neither save themselves from war, nor from plague? EpJer 6:50 For seeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with silver and gold, it shall be known hereafter that they are false: EpJer 6:51 And it shall manifestly appear to all nations and kings that they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them. EpJer 6:52 Who then may not know that they are no gods? EpJer 6:53 For neither can they set up a king in the land, nor give rain unto men. EpJer 6:54 Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a wrong, being unable: for they are as crows between heaven and earth. EpJer 6:55 Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods of wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests will flee away, and escape; but they themselves shall be burned asunder like beams. EpJer 6:56 Moreover they cannot withstand any king or enemies: how can it then be thought or said that they be gods? EpJer 6:57 Neither are those
