Letter of Jeremiah 46
Print
Their creators won’t live long themselves, so how can the things they have made be gods?
Those who make them will certainly not live very long themselves;
how then can the things that are made by them be gods? They have left only lies and reproach for those who come after.
The men that make them will certainly not live very long themselves; how then can the things that are made by them be gods?
Also those goldsmiths that make them, be not of much time; therefore whether those things [or the things] that be made of (or by) them may be (or be able to be) gods?
