Letter of Jeremiah 39-41
Revised Standard Version
39 These things that are made of wood and overlaid with gold and silver are like stones from the mountain, and those who serve them will be put to shame. 40 Why then must any one think that they are gods, or call them gods?
The Foolishness of Worshiping Idols
Besides, even the Chalde′ans themselves dishonor them; 41 for when they see a dumb man, who cannot speak, they bring him and pray Bel[a] that the man may speak, as though Bel[b] were able to understand.
