Baruch 6:65-69 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

65. For they can neither curse kings, nor bless them.

66. Besides, they show no signs in heaven to the nations; they neither shine like the sun, nor give light like the moon.

67. Beasts are better than they are, for they can flee under a covering, and so protect themselves.

68. Therefore, in no way is it clear to us that they are gods; because of this, you should not fear them.

69. For just as a scarecrow in a cucumber field protects nothing, so are their gods of wood, and silver, and inlaid gold.
