Jeremiah 51:18

A Message Concerning Babylon

¹⁷ Every son of earth had become too brutish to know, - Every goldsmith, hath been put to shame, by a graven image, - For a falsehood, is his molten image Seeing there is no breath in them: ¹⁸ Vanity, they are, A handiwork of mockeries, - In the time of their visitation, shall they perish. ¹⁹ Not like these, is the portion of Jacob, For the fashioner of all things, is he! And the portion of his inheritance, - Yahweh of hosts, is his name.
