Baruch 6:69-72 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

69. For like a scarecrow in a cucumber patch, providing no protection, are their wooden, gilded, silvered gods.

70. Just like a thornbush in a garden on which perches every kind of bird, or like a corpse hurled into darkness, are their wooden, gilded, silvered gods.

71. From the rotting of the purple and the linen upon them, you can know that they are not gods; they themselves will in the end be consumed, and be a disgrace in the land.

72. Better the just who has no idols; such shall be far from disgrace!
