Letter of Jeremiah 1:39 Context
36They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, nor help any man in his distress. 37They can shew no mercy to the widow, nor do good to the fatherless. 38Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain: they that worship them shall be confounded. 39How should a man then think and say that they are gods, when even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them? 40Who if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, they bring him, and intreat Bel that he may speak, as though he were able to understand. 41Yet they cannot understand this themselves, and leave them: for they have no knowledge. 42The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, burn bran for perfume: but if any of them, drawn by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken.
