Letter of Jeremiah 6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ For God’s^[a] angel is with you, examining your souls.

Inability of the idols to do anything

⁷ A carpenter smooths out the tongues of the idols. They are covered in gold and silver, but they are fake and unable to speak. ⁸ The Gentiles take gold and place crowns on their gods’ heads, like a young girl playing dress up.
