Context Readings

Jeremiah's Prayer Of Confidence In The Lord

18 Thus will I recompense, first, twofold, their iniquity and their sin, because of their profaning my land, - with the carcase of their disgusting and detestable things, have they filled mine inheritance. 19 O Yahweh, my strength, and my refuge, and my place to fly to, in the day of distress, - Unto thee, shall nations come in, out of the ends of the earth, that they may say - Surely! Falsehood, did our fathers inherit, Vanity, among whom is none that can profit: 20 Shall a son of earth, make for himself gods, Seeing that, they, are no-gods?
