Letter of Jeremiah 6:52
King James VersionSource notes
“Who then may not know that they are no gods?”
Context
49How then cannot men perceive that they be no gods, which can neither save themselves from war, nor from plague?
50For seeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with silver and gold, it shall be known hereafter that they are false:
51And 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.
52Who then may not know that they are no gods?
53For neither can they set up a king in the land, nor give rain unto men.
54Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a wrong, being unable: for they are as crows between heaven and earth.
55Whereupon 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.
