Jeremiah 16:19-21
Living Bible
19 O Lord, my Strength and Fortress, my Refuge in the day of trouble, nations from around the world will come to you saying, “Our fathers have been foolish, for they have worshiped worthless idols! 20 Can men make God? The gods they made are not real gods at all.”
21 And when they come in that spirit, I will show them[a] my power and might and make them understand at last that I alone am God.
