In context
53For neither can they set up a king in the land, nor give rain unto men.
54Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a wrong, being unable: for they are as crows between heaven and earth.
— Epistle of Jeremiah 1:55 —
56Moreover they cannot withstand any king or enemies: how can it then be thought or said that they be gods?
57Neither are those gods of wood, and laid over with silver or gold, able to escape either from thieves or robbers.
