The King James Version Bible

Letter of Jeremiah 6:19-23

  1. They light them candles, yea, more than for themselves, whereof they cannot see one.

  2. 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.

  3. Their faces are blacked through the smoke that cometh out of the temple.

  4. Upon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and birds, and the cats also.

  5. By this ye may know that they are no gods: therefore fear them not.
