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.”

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)
