Jeremiah 16:19 Context
17For mine eyes are vpon all their waies: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquitie hid from mine eies. 18And first I will recompense their iniquitie, and their sinne double, because they haue defiled my land, they haue filled mine inheritance with the carkeises of their detestable and abominable things. 19O Lord, my strength and my fortresse, and my refuge in the day of affliction; the Gentiles shall come vnto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say; Surely our fathers haue inherited lyes, vanitie, and things wherein there is no profit. 20Shall a man make Gods vnto himselfe, and they are no Gods? 21Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know: I will cause them to knowe mine hand and my might, and they shall know that my name is the Lord.
