Letter of Jeremiah 13-15

Wycliffe Bible

¹³ priests shall wipe the face(s) of them, for (the) dust of the house (or because of the dust of the temple), which is full much among those gods. [they shall wipe the face(s) of them, for dust of the house, that is full much among them.]

¹⁴ Forsooth (these) idols have a sceptre, as a man hath; (yea), as the judge of a country, (but) that slayeth not a man sinning against himself. [Forsooth they have a sceptre, or king’s rod, as a man; as a judge of a country, that slayeth not the sinning (one) into him.]

¹⁵ Also they have in the hand a sword, and an ax; but they deliver not themselves from battle and from thieves. [Forsooth they have also in the hand sword and ax; forsooth they deliver not themselves from battle and day thieves.]
