Jeremiah 48:30
I know his insolence,” declares the Lord, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.
I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
Note his lies…: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right
I know his wrath,” says the Lord, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
I know his wrath, saith Jehovah, that it is nought; his boastings have wrought nothing.
