Jeremiah 16:17-21 English Standard Version (ESV)

17. For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from me, nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.

18. But first I will doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”

19. O Lord, my strength and my stronghold, my refuge in the day of trouble, to you shall the nations comefrom the ends of the earth and say:“Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, worthless things in which there is no profit.

20. Can man make for himself 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 my name is the Lord.”
