In context
18And as the doors are made sure on every side upon him that offendeth the king, as being committed to suffer death; even so the priests make fast their temples with doors, with locks, and bars, lest their gods be spoiled with robbers.
19They light them candles, yea, more than for themselves, whereof they cannot see one.
— Epistle of Jeremiah 1:20 —
21Their faces are blackened through the smoke that cometh out of the temple.
22Upon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and birds, and the cats also.
