    and my refuge in the day of affliction,
the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth,
    and will say,
“Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies,
    vanity and things in which there is no profit.
20 Should a man make to himself gods
    which yet are no gods?”

21 “Therefore behold, I will cause them to know,
    this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might.
    Then they will know that my name is Yahweh.”

    that I am the Lord.
