Letter of Jeremiah 16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ Wherefore be it known to you, that they be not gods; therefore worship (or dread) ye not them.

¹⁷ For as a broken vessel of a man is made unprofitable, such also be the gods of them. When they be set (up) in the house (or in the temple), the eyes of them be full of dust, of (or from) the feet of men entering [in].

¹⁸ And as [the] gates be set about a man, that offended the king, either as when a dead man is brought to the sepulchre, so priests keep securely the doors with closings, and locks, lest they be robbed of (or by) thieves.
