Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Toda persona se vuelve necia cuando confía en su propio entendimiento. Todo artesano se avergüenza de los ídolos que hace porque sus estatuas de metal son puras mentiras, no tienen vida alguna en ellas.
Confiar en nuestra propia sabiduría y crear ídolos nos lleva a la necedad y la vergüenza porque carecen de vida verdadera.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 6th century BC, the prophet Jeremiah was delivering God's messages to the people of Judah amid the threat of Babylonian conquest, but in Jeremiah 51, he shifts focus to pronounce judgment on Babylon for its arrogance and false worship. Babylon was a dominant empire that heavily practiced idolatry, crafting statues and images to represent their gods, which were central to their culture and daily life. This verse critiques the absurdity of such idolatry, emphasizing that human-made objects hold no divine power and ultimately lead to confusion and failure.
