Letter of Jeremiah 1:53 Context

⁵⁰And it shall manifestly appear to all nations and kings that they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them. ⁵¹Who then may not know that they are no gods? ⁵²For neither can they set up a king in the land, nor give rain unto men. ⁵³Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a wrong, being unable: for they are as crows between heaven and earth. ⁵⁴Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods of wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests will flee away, and escape; but they themselves shall be burned asunder like beams. ⁵⁵Moreover they cannot withstand any king or enemies: how can it then be thought or said that they be gods? ⁵⁶Neither are those gods of wood, and laid over with silver or gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers.
