Jeremiah 16:14-21

14“1Therefore behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives, who 2brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ 15but, ‘As the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the 3land of the north and from all the countries where He had banished them.’ For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers.

16“Behold, I am going to send for many 4fishermen,” declares the Lord, “and they will fish for them; and afterwards I will send for many hunters, and they will 5hunt them 6from every mountain and every hill and from the clefts of the rocks. 177For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, 8nor is their iniquity concealed from My eyes. 18I will first 9doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have 10polluted My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their 11detestable idols and with their abominations.”

19O Lord, my 12strength and my stronghold, And my 13refuge in the day of distress, To You the 14nations will come From the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but 15falsehood, Futility and 1617things of no profit.”20Can man make gods for himself? Yet they are 18not gods!

21“Therefore behold, I am going to make them know-- This time I will 19make them know My 20power and My might; And they shall 21know that My name is the Lord.”
