Epistle of Jeremiah
The Epistle of Jeremiah is a deuterocanonical/apocryphal book that warns against idolatry, presented as a letter from the prophet Jeremiah to the Jewish exiles in Babylon. Although attributed to Jeremiah, it was written much later, likely in the 2nd century BC, and functions as a powerful exhortation against worshiping false gods. The text describes the powerlessness of idols, contrasting them with the living God and advising the exiles to maintain their Jewish identity by separating from Gentile culture.
