Baruch 6:15LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 15 of 73

"He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an axe: but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves."
Baruch 6:15

In context

13They wipe their faces because of the dust of the temple, when there is much upon them.

14And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him holdeth a sceptre, as though he were a judge of the country.

15He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an axe: but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves.

16Whereby they are known not to be gods: therefore fear them not.

17For like as a vessel that a man useth is nothing worth when it is broken; even so it is with their gods: when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the feet of them that come in.
