Letter of Jeremiah 39

CEB
So why should anyone consider or call them gods?
NRSVA
These things that are made of wood and overlaid with gold and silver are like stones from the mountain, and those who serve them will be put to shame.
NRSVUE
Why then must anyone think that they are gods or call them gods? Besides, even the Chaldeans themselves dishonor them, for when they see someone who cannot speak, they bring Bel and pray that the mute may speak, as though Bel were able to understand!
RSV
These things that are made of wood and overlaid with gold and silver are like stones from the mountain, and those who serve them will be put to shame.
WYC
Their gods of tree (or of wood), and of stone, and of gold, and of silver, be like (the) stones of the mountain; forsooth they that worship them, shall be shamed [or shall be confounded].
