Letter of Jeremiah 6:23
King James VersionSource notes
“By this ye may know that they are no gods: therefore fear them not.”
Context
20They are as one of the beams of the temple, yet they say their hearts are gnawed upon by things creeping out of the earth; and when they eat them and their clothes, they feel it not.
21Their faces are blacked through the smoke that cometh out of the temple.
22Upon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and birds, and the cats also.
23By this ye may know that they are no gods: therefore fear them not.
24Notwithstanding the gold that is about them to make them beautiful, except they wipe off the rust, they will not shine: for neither when they were molten did they feel it.
25The things wherein there is no breath are bought for a most high price.
26They are borne upon shoulders, having no feet whereby they declare unto men that they be nothing worth.
