gods of wood, and laid over with silver or
gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers.

EpJer 6:58
Whose gold, and silver, and garments wherewith they are
clothed, they that are strong take, and go away withal: neither
are they able to help themselves.

EpJer 6:59
Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power,
or else a profitable vessel in an house, which the owner shall
have use of, than such false gods; or to be a door in an house,
to keep such things therein, than such false gods, or a pillar
of wood in a a palace, than such false gods.

EpJer 6:60
For sun, moon, and stars, being bright and sent to do their
offices, are obedient.

EpJer 6:61
In like manner the lightning when it breaketh forth is easy
to be seen; and after the same manner the wind bloweth in every
country.

EpJer 6:62
And when God commandeth the clouds to go over the whole
world, they do as they are bidden.

EpJer 6:63
And the fire sent from above to consume hills and woods doeth
as it is commanded: but these are like unto them neither in shew
nor power.

EpJer 6:64
Wherefore it is neither to be supposed nor said that they are
gods, seeing, they are able neither to judge causes, nor to do
good unto men.

EpJer 6:65
Knowing therefore that they are no gods, fear them not,

EpJer 6:66
For they can neither curse nor bless kings:

EpJer 6:67
Neither can they shew signs in the heavens among the heathen,
nor shine as the sun, nor give light as the moon.

EpJer 6:68
The beasts are better than they: for they can get under a
cover and help themselves.

EpJer 6:69
It is then by no means manifest unto us that they are gods:
therefore fear them not.

EpJer 6:70
For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing:
so are their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold.

EpJer 6:71
And likewise their gods of wood, and laid over with silver
and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, that every
bird sitteth upon; as also to a dead body, that is east into the
dark.

EpJer 6:72
And ye shall know them to be no gods by the bright purple
that rotteth upon them: and they themselves afterward shall be
eaten, and shall be a reproach in the country.

EpJer 6:73
Better therefore is the just man that hath none idols: for he
shall be far from reproach.
