Jeremiah 16:10-15

10And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath Yhwh pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Yhwh our God? 11Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith Yhwh, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; 12And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:1 13Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.

14Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Yhwh, that it shall no more be said, Yhwh liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15But, Yhwh liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
