Jeremiah 16:19-21
Expanded Bible
19 Lord, you are my strength and my ·protection [stronghold],
my ·safe place [refuge] in times of ·trouble [distress].
The nations will come to you from ·all over [L the ends of] the world
and say, “Our ·ancestors [fathers] ·had [L have inherited] only ·false gods [L lies],
·useless [meaningless] idols that didn’t ·help [profit] them.
20 Can people make gods for themselves?
They will not really be gods!”
21 The Lord says, “So I will teach those who make idols.
This time I will teach them
about my ·power [L hand] and my strength.
Then they will know
that my name is the Lord.
Jeremiah 16:19-21
New American Standard Bible
19 Lord, my (A)strength and my stronghold,
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)falsehood,
Futility, and [a](E)things of no benefit.”
20 Can a person make gods for himself?
But 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 will (H)know that My name is the Lord.”
