Letter of Jeremiah 34-36

Revised Standard Version

³⁴ Whether one does evil to them or good, they will not be able to repay it. They cannot set up a king or depose one. ³⁵ Likewise they are not able to give either wealth or money; if one makes a vow to them and does not keep it, they will not require it. ³⁶ They cannot save a man from death or rescue the weak from the strong.
