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.”

Jeremiah 16:19-21
International Standard Version
19 Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge in a time of difficulty,
to you the nations will come,
and from the ends of the earth they’ll say,
“Surely our ancestors inherited deception,[a]
things that are worthless,
and in which there is no profit.”
20 Can a person make a god for himself?
They are not gods!
21 Therefore, I’m about to make them understand;
this time I’ll make them understand
my power and strength,
so they’ll understand that my name is the Lord.
