Jeremiah 16:19-21

^{Tools
19}

O 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 profit.”

Can man make gods for himself?
Yet they are ^(F)not gods!

“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 shall ^(H)know that My name is the Lord.”
