Baruch 6:53 CPDV

⁵¹  For this reason, then, it has been accepted that they are not gods, but are works of the hands of men, and no work of God is in them.

⁵²  They have not raised up a king in the region, nor will they give rain to men.

⁵³  They will not discern a judgment for anyone, nor will they free a region from injury, because they can do nothing, like crows in the middle of heaven and earth.

⁵⁴  And, indeed, when there happens to be a fire in the house of these gods of wood, silver, and gold, the priests will certainly run away and save themselves, but these will truly be burned up like logs in the midst of it.

⁵⁵  Yet they cannot withstand a king and war. In what way, then, is it to be considered or accepted that they are gods?
