Jeremiah 16:18-20
EasyEnglish Bible

18 I will punish them for their sins. I will make them pay twice for the wrong things that they have done. That is because they have spoiled my land. They have made it unclean with their disgusting idols that have no life. They have filled my special land with the evil things that they have done.’

19 Lord, you give me strength.
    You are the safe place where I can hide.
When I am in trouble,
    I can run to you and be safe.
People will come from nations all over the earth,
    to give you honour.
They will say, ‘Our ancestors worshipped false gods.
    Those gods were useless and they could not help us.
20 Can people make gods for themselves?
    If they make them, they are not really gods.’
