Holy Scripture

Jeremiah 10:14

A church father on this verse
“"Every man was made foolish from knowledge." If every man was made foolish from knowledge, and Paul too is a man, Paul was made foolish from knowledge; for "knowing in part and prophesying in part," he was made foolish from knowledge; "seeing through a mirror," seeing in an enigma, seeing and grasping a small fraction…”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — HOMILIES ON JEREMIAH 8

Original

14Every man is deprived of knowledge, every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images; for he has cast false gods, there is no breath in them.

In context

12It is the Lord that made the earth by his strength, who set up the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the sky,

13and set abundance of waters in the sky, and brought up clouds from the ends of the earth; he made lightnings for the rain, and brought forth light out of his treasures.

— Jeremiah 10:14 —

15They are vain works, wrought in mockery; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

16Such is not the portion of Jacob; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name.
