Letter of Jeremiah 63-65

Revised Standard Version

⁶³ And the fire sent from above to consume mountains and woods does what it is ordered. But these idols^[a] are not to be compared with them in appearance or power. ⁶⁴ Therefore one must not think that they are gods nor call them gods, for they are not able either to decide a case or to do good to men. ⁶⁵ Since you know then that they are not gods, do not fear them.
