Jeremiah 16:19-21
Legacy Standard Bible
19 O Yahweh, my (A)strength and my strong defense,
And my (B)refuge in the day of distress,
To You the (C)nations will come
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Our fathers have inherited nothing but (D)lies,
Futility and [a](E)things of no profit.”
20 Can man make gods for himself?
Yet they are (F)not gods!
21 “Therefore behold, I am going to make them know—
This time I will (G)make them know
My [b]power and My might;
And they shall (H)know that My name is Yahweh.”

Revised Standard Version
19 O Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge in the day of trouble,
to thee shall the nations come
from the ends of the earth and say:
“Our fathers have inherited nought but lies,
worthless things in which there is no profit.
20 Can man make for himself gods?
Such are no 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 my name is the Lord.”
