Letter of Jeremiah 6:32
King James VersionSource notes
“They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead.”
Context
29Menstruous women and women in childbed eat their sacrifices: by these things ye may know that they are no gods: fear them not.
30For how can they be called gods? because women set meat before the gods of silver, gold, and wood.
31And the priests sit in their temples, having their clothes rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads.
32They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead.
33The priests also take off their garments, and clothe their wives and children.
34Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: they can neither set up a king, nor put him down.
35In like manner, they can neither give riches nor money: though a man make a vow unto them, and keep it not, they will not require it.
