Baruch 6:62-67 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

62. and fire, sent from on high to burn up the mountains and the forests, carries out its command. But these false gods are not their equal, whether in appearance or in power.

63. So it is unthinkable, and cannot be claimed that they are gods. They can neither execute judgment, nor benefit anyone.

64. Know, therefore, that they are not gods; do not fear them.

65. Kings they can neither curse nor bless.

66. They show the nations no signs in the heavens, nor do they shine like the sun, nor give light like the moon.

67. The beasts are better than they—beasts can help themselves by fleeing to shelter.
