Jeremiah 16:20 in context

Jeremiah 16:17–21

17

For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.

18

First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”

19

LORD, my strength, my stronghold,

and my refuge in the day of affliction,

the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth,

and will say,

“Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies,

vanity and things in which there is no profit.

20
