Jeremiah 16:18-20
Easy-to-Read Version

18 I will pay the people of Judah back for the evil things they did—I will punish them two times for every sin. I will do this because they have made my land ‘dirty.’ They made my land ‘dirty’ with their terrible idols. I hate those idols, but they have filled my country with their idols.”

19 Lord, you are my strength and my protection.
    You are a safe place to run to in time of trouble.
The nations will come to you from all around the world.
    They will say, “Our fathers had false gods.
They worshiped those worthless idols,
    but the idols did not help them.
20 Can people make real gods for themselves?
    No, they can only make statues that are not really gods.”
