Letter of Jeremiah 41-43
Revised Standard Version
Letter of Jeremiah 41-43
Revised Standard Version
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. 42 Yet they themselves cannot perceive this and abandon them, for they have no sense. 43 And the women, with cords about them, sit along the passageways, burning bran for incense; and when one of them is led off by one of the passers-by and is lain with, she derides the woman next to her, because she was not as attractive as herself and her cord was not broken.
