New King James Version

Jeremiah 16:18-21 New King James Version (NKJV)

18. And first I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.”

19. O Lord, my strength and my fortress,My refuge in the day of affliction,The Gentiles shall come to YouFrom the ends of the earth and say,“Surely our fathers have inherited lies,Worthlessness and unprofitable things.”

20. Will a man make gods for himself,Which are not gods?

21. “Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know,I will cause them to knowMy hand and My might;And they shall know that My name is the Lord.
