Jeremiah 16:18

Punishment Of Exile

¹⁷ for My gaze takes in all their ways. They are not concealed from Me, and their guilt is not hidden from My sight. ¹⁸ I will first repay them double for their guilt and sin because they have polluted My land. They have filled My inheritance with the lifelessness of their detestable and abhorrent idols.” ¹⁹ Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge in a time of distress,
the nations will come to You
from the ends of the earth, and they will say,
“Our fathers inherited only lies,
worthless idols of no benefit at all.”
