Jeremiah 16:19-21
Christian Standard Bible
19 Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge in a time of distress,(A)
the nations will come to you
from the ends of the earth, and they will say,
“Our ancestors inherited only lies,
worthless idols(B) of no benefit at all.”
20 Can one make gods for himself?
But they are not gods.(C)
21 “Therefore, I am about to inform them,
and this time I will make them know
my power and my might;
then they will know that my name is the Lord.”(D)
Jeremiah 16:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 O Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold,
and my refuge in the day of distress,
to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth,
and they will say, “Our ancestors[a] have inherited only lies,[b]
vanity, and there is no profit in them.
20 Can a human make for himself gods?
Yet they are not gods!”
21 “Therefore[c] look, I am about to let them know,
this time I am going to let them know
my power[d] and my might,
and they will know that my name is Yahweh.”
