Jeremiah 16:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, neither is their iniquity concealed from My eyes.

¹⁸ First [before I bring them back to their land] I will doubly recompense and punish them for their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols and with the abominable things offered to false gods with which they have filled My inheritance.

¹⁹ [Then said Jeremiah] O Lord, my Strength and my Stronghold, and my Refuge in the day of affliction, to You shall the nations come from the ends of the earth and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, emptiness, and futility, worthless things in which there is no profit!
