Baruch 6:70DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 70 of 73

"For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing: so are their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold."
Baruch 6:70

In context

68The beasts are better than they: for they can get under a covert, and help themselves.

69It is then by no means manifest unto us that they are gods: therefore fear them not.

70For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing: so are their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold.

71And likewise their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, that every bird sitteth upon; as also to a dead body, that is cast into the dark.

72And ye shall know them to be no gods by the bright purple that rotteth upon them: and they themselves afterward shall be eaten, and shall be a reproach in the country.
