Letter of Jeremiah 40-42

Wycliffe Bible

⁴⁰ How therefore is it to guess, either to say [or to be said], that they be gods? for why yet when (even the) Chaldeans honour not them.

⁴¹ Which when they hear that a dumb man may not speak, offer him to Bel, and ask of him to (be able to) speak; as if they that have no stirring, may (or be able to) feel. [Which when they shall hear the dumb not to be able to speak, offer him to Bel, asking of him for to speak; as (if) they be able to feel, which have not moving.]

⁴² And they, when they shall understand, shall forsake those idols; for those gods of them have no wit. [And they when they shall understand, shall forsake them; soothly those gods of them have not wit.]
