Jeremiah 16:19-21
New Living Translation
Jeremiah’s Prayer of Confidence
19 Lord, you are my strength and fortress,
my refuge in the day of trouble!
Nations from around the world
will come to you and say,
“Our ancestors left us a foolish heritage,
for they worshiped worthless idols.
20 Can people make their own gods?
These are not real gods at all!”
21 The Lord says,
“Now I will show them my power;
now I will show them my might.
At last they will know and understand
that I am the Lord.
Jeremiah 16:19-21
English Standard Version
19 (A)O Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
(B)my refuge in the day of trouble,
(C)to you shall the nations come
from the ends of the earth and say:
“Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies,
(D)worthless things in which there is no profit.
20 Can man make for himself (E)gods?
Such are not gods!”
21 “Therefore, behold, I will make them know, this once I will make them know my power and my might, and they shall know that (F)my name is the Lord.”
