Letter of Jeremiah 1:61

Letter of Jeremiah 1:61 Context

⁵⁸Whose 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. ⁵⁹Therefore 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. ⁶⁰For sun, moon, and stars, being bright and sent to do their offices, are obedient. ⁶¹In like manner the lightning when it breaketh forth is easy to be seen; and after the same manner the wind bloweth in every country. ⁶²And when God commandeth the clouds to go over the whole world, they do as they are bidden. ⁶³And 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. ⁶⁴Wherefore 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.
