Baruch 6:68 CPDV

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.

⁷⁰  They are just the same as a white thorn in a garden, on which all the birds sit; they are even like a corpse thrown out into the darkness, just so are these gods of wood, and inlaid gold, and inlaid silver.
