Letter of Jeremiah 1:22 Context
20They are as one of the beames of the temple, yet they say, their hearts are gnawed vpon by things creeping out of the earth, & when they eate them and their clothes, they feele it not. 21Their faces are blacked, thorow the smoke that comes out of the temple. 22Upon their bodies and heads, sit battes, swallowes, and birds, and the cats also. 23By this you may know that they are no gods: therefore feare them not. 24Notwithstanding the gold that is about them, to make them beautifull, except they wipe off the rust they will not shine: for neither when they were molten did they feele it.
