Letter of Jeremiah

Letter of Jeremiah 1:17

οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν πλήρεις εἰσὶ κονιορτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ποδῶν τῶν εἰσπορευομένων.
King James Version (KJV)

For like as a vessel that a man useth is nothing worth when it is broken; even so it is with their gods: when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the feet of them that come in.

Modern English

Just as a broken pot becomes worthless, so it is with these gods: once set up in a temple, their eyes fill with dust from the feet of everyone who walks by.
