Jeremiah 16:20

Compare all

18 And first I will repay ^adouble for their iniquity and their sin, because ^bthey have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.”

19 O Lord, ^amy strength and my fortress,
^bMy refuge in the day of affliction,
The Gentiles shall come to You
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Surely our fathers have inherited lies,
Worthlessness and ^cunprofitable things.”

20 Will a man make gods for himself,
^aWhich are not gods?

21 “Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know,
I will cause them to know
My hand and My might;
And they shall know that ^aMy name is the Lord.

Jeremiah 16:20

Shall a man make gods unto himself? - Can any be so silly, and so preposterously absurd? Yes, fallen man is capable of any thing that is base, mean, vile, and wicked, till influenced and converted by the grace of Christ.
