Jeremiah 51:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ But people are so stupid.
    They don’t understand what God has done.
Skilled workers make statues of false gods.
    Those statues are only false gods.
They show how foolish those workers are.
    Those statues are not alive.
¹⁸ Those idols are worthless.
    People made them, and they are nothing but a joke.
Their time of judgment will come,
    and those idols will be destroyed.
¹⁹ But God, who is Jacob’s Portion, is not like those worthless statues.
    People didn’t make God;
God made his people.
    He made everything.
His name is the Lord All-Powerful.
