Jeremiah 16:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 O Lord, thou art my [a]fortress, and my strength and my refuge in the day of affliction: the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the world, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited [b]lies, and vanity, wherein there was no profit.
20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
21 Behold, therefore I will this once [c]teach them: I will show them mine hand and my power, and they shall know that my Name is the Lord.
