Jeremiah 51:17-19
International Standard Version
Jeremiah 51:17-19
International Standard Version
17 Everyone is stupid[a] and without knowledge.
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his own idols,
for his images are false,[b]
and there is no life in them.
18 They’re worthless, a work of mockery,
and when the time of punishment comes,[c]
they’ll perish.
19 The Portion of Jacob[d] is not like these.
He made everything,
including the tribe of his inheritance.
The Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name.
