Letter of Jeremiah 6:19-23
-
19 They light them candles, yea, more than for themselves, whereof they cannot see one.
-
20 They 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.
-
21 Their faces are blacked through the smoke that cometh out of the temple.
-
22 Upon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and birds, and the cats also.
-
23 By this ye may know that they are no gods: therefore fear them not.
