17. I am watching their every move; not one is hidden from me. Nor is their sin concealed from my sight.
18. I will initially pay them back double for their evil and sin, because they have corrupted my land with their disgusting, lifeless idols and have filled my inheritance with their detestable practices.
19. Lord, you are my strength and my stronghold;you are my refuge in time of trouble.The nations will flock to youfrom the ends of the earth,and they will say:"Our ancestors have inherited utter lies,things that are hollow and useless."
20. Can humans make their own gods?If so, they are not gods at all!
21. Therefore, I will teach them;this time I will teach themmy power and my might.They will understand that I am the Lord.
