Epistle of Jeremiah 1:47

⁴⁵They are made of carpenters and goldsmiths: they can be nothing else than the workmen will have them to be.

⁴⁶And they themselves that made them can never continue long; how should then the things that are made of them be gods

— Epistle of Jeremiah 1:47 —

⁴⁸For when there cometh any war or plague upon them, the priests consult with themselves, where they may be hidden with them.

⁴⁹How then cannot men perceive that they be no gods, which can neither save themselves from war, nor from plague?
