Jeremiah 51:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ People who make idols
    are stupid!
They will be disappointed,
because their false gods
    cannot breathe.
¹⁸ Idols are merely a joke,
and when the time is right,
    they will be destroyed.
¹⁹ But the Lord, Israel's God,
    is all-powerful.
He created everything,
and he chose Israel
    to be his very own.
