Letter of Jeremiah 1:7 Context

⁴Beware therefore that ye in no wise be like to strangers, neither be ye and of them, when ye see the multitude before them and behind them, worshipping them. ⁵But say ye in your hearts, O Lord, we must worship thee. ⁶For mine angel is with you, and I myself caring for your souls. ⁷As for their tongue, it is polished by the workman, and they themselves are gilded and laid over with silver; yet are they but false, and cannot speak. ⁸And taking gold, as it were for a virgin that loveth to go gay, they make crowns for the heads of their gods. ⁹Sometimes also the priests convey from their gods gold and silver, and bestow it upon themselves. ¹⁰Yea, they will give thereof to the common harlots, and deck them as men with garments, being gods of silver, and gods of gold, and wood.
