Jeremiah 16:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁹O Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
    my refuge on the day of trouble,
to you shall the nations come
    from the ends of the earth and say:
Our ancestors have inherited nothing but lies,
    worthless things in which there is no profit.
²⁰Can mortals make for themselves gods?
    Such are no gods!

²¹‘Therefore I am surely going to teach them, this time I am going to teach them my power and my might, and they shall know that my name is the Lord.’
