Letter of Jeremiah 42-44

Common English Bible

⁴² The women, with cords wrapped around them, sit along the streets and burn corn husks as incense. ⁴³ When one of these women is dragged away by someone to have sex, she makes fun of the one nearest her by saying that the other woman wasn’t as worthy as she, nor has the woman’s cord been broken. ⁴⁴ Everything that is done for the gods is phony. So why should anyone consider or call them gods?
