Letter of Jeremiah 1:17 Context
14And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him holdeth a sceptre, as though he were a judge of the country. 15He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an ax: but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves. 16Whereby they are known not to be gods: therefore fear them not. 17For like as a vessel that a man useth is nothing worth when it is broken; even so it is with their gods: when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the feet of them that come in. 18And as the doors are made sure on every side upon him that offendeth the king, as being committed to suffer death: even so the priests make fast their temples with doors, with locks, and bars, lest their gods be spoiled with robbers. 19They light them candles, yea, more than for themselves, whereof they cannot see one. 20They are as one of the beams of the temple, yet they say their hearts are gnawed upon by things creeping out of the earth; and when they eat them and their clothes, they feel it not.
