Jeremiah 16:19
O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

Study Note
Jeremiah's confession — 'O LORD, my strength and my stronghold, my refuge in the day of distress, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the earth' — pivots from the prophet's personal lament to an eschatological vision of Gentile recognition of the LORD's incomparability. The nations' self-condemnation — 'our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, worthless things in which there is no profit' — represents the expected repentance of those who had inherited false religion rather than choosing it. The passage anticipates the universal pilgrimage texts of Isaiah 2 and Zechariah 8 and has been read in Jewish and Christian traditions as predicting eschatological Gentile turning from idolatry to the God of Israel. The personal and universal are held together: what sustains the individual prophet becomes the confession of the nations.
