7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing
without revealing his plan
to his servants the prophets.
18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols."
19 LORD, my strength and my fortress,
my refuge in time of distress,
to you the nations will come
from the ends of the earth and say,
"Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods,
worthless idols that did them no good.
20 Do people make their own gods?
Yes, but they are not gods!"
21 "Therefore I will teach them—
this time I will teach them
my power and might.
Then they will know
that my name is the LORD.
