Letter of Jeremiah

Letter of Jeremiah 1:34

οὔτε ἐὰν κακὸν πάθωσιν ὑπό τινος οὔτε ἐὰν ἀγαθόν, δυνήσονται ἀνταποδοῦναι· οὔτε καταστῆσαι βασιλέα δύνανται οὔτε ἀφελέσθαι.
King James Version (KJV)

Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: they can neither set up a king, nor put him down.

Modern English

Whether someone treats these gods well or badly, they cannot repay it either way; they can neither install a king nor remove one.
