Jeremiah 16:16-21

16Behold, I will sendH7971 for manyH7227 fishers, saith Jehovah, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will sendH7971 for manyH7227 hunters, and they shall huntH6679 them from every mountainH2022, and from every hillH2022, and out of the cleftsH5357 of the rocksH5553. 17For mine eyesH5869 are upon all their waysH1870; they are not hidH5641 from my faceH6440, neither is their iniquityH5771 concealedH5641 from mine eyesH5869. 18And firstH7223 I will recompense their iniquityH5771 and their sinH2403 doubleH4932, because they have polluted my landH776 with the carcassesH5038 of their detestableH8251 thingsH8251, and have filledH4390 mine inheritanceH5159 with their abominationsH8441.

19O Jehovah, my strengthH5797, and my strongholdH4581, and my refugeH4581 in the dayH3117 of affliction, unto thee shall the nationsH1471 comeH935 from the endsH657 of the earthH776, and shall sayH559, Our fathersH1 have inheritedH5157 nought but liesH8267, even vanityH1892 and things wherein there is no profitH3276. 20Shall a manH120 makeH6213 unto himself godsH430, which yet are no godsH430?

21ThereforeH3651, behold, I will cause them to knowH3045, this once will I cause them to knowH3045 my handH3027 and my might; and they shall knowH3045 that my nameH8034 is Jehovah.
