Letter of Jeremiah 1:43 Context
41Who if they shall see one dumbe that cannot speake, they bring him and intreate Bel that he may speake, as though he were able to vnderstand. 42Yet they cannot vnderstand this themselues, and leaue them: for they haue no knowledge. 43The women also with cordes aboue them, sitting in the wayes, burne branne for perfume: but if any of them drawen by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow that she was not thought as worthy as her selfe, nor her cord broken. 44Whatsoeuer is done among them is false: how may it then be thought or said that they are gods? 45They are made of carpenters, and goldsmiths, they can be nothing else, then the workman will haue them to be.
