Letter of Jeremiah 71-72

Common English Bible

⁷¹ From the purple cloth—and the marble that decays and crumbles^[a] on them—you will know they aren’t gods. Later they themselves will be devoured, and it will be a disgrace in the land.

⁷² So it is better to be a righteous person without any idols. That person will be far removed from disgrace.
