menu_book Verse in Context

53 For they can’t set up a king in a land or give rain to men.

54 They can’t judge their own cause, or redress a wrong, being unable; for they are like crows between heaven and earth.

55 For even when fire falls upon the house of gods of wood overlaid with gold or with silver, their priests will flee away, and escape, but they themselves will be burned apart like beams.

56 Moreover they can’t withstand any king or enemies. How could a man then admit or think that they are gods?

57 Those gods of wood overlaid with silver or with gold aren’t able to escape from thieves or robbers.
