Jeremiah 16:16-21

16Behold, I will sendH7971 for manyH7227 fishersH1728H1771, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, and they shall fishH1770 them; and afterH310 will I sendH7971 for manyH7227 huntersH6719, and they shall huntH6679 them from every mountainH2022, and from every hillH1389, and out of the holesH5357 of the rocksH5553. 17For mine eyesH5869 are upon all their waysH1870: they are not hidH5641 from my faceH6440, neither is their iniquityH5771 hidH6845 fromH5048 mine eyesH5869. 18And firstH7223 I will recompenseH7999 their iniquityH5771 and their sinH2403 doubleH4932; because they have defiledH2490 my landH776, they have filledH4390 mine inheritanceH5159 with the carcasesH5038 of their detestableH8251 and abominable thingsH8441. 19O YhwhH3068, my strengthH5797, and my fortressH4581, and my refugeH4498 in the dayH3117 of afflictionH6869, the GentilesH1471 shall comeH935 unto thee from the endsH657 of the earthH776, and shall sayH559, Surely our fathersH1 have inheritedH5157 liesH8267, vanityH1892, and things wherein there is no profitH3276. 20Shall a manH120 makeH6213 godsH430 unto himself, and they are no godsH430? 21Therefore, behold, I will this onceH6471 cause them to knowH3045, I will cause them to knowH3045 mine handH3027 and my mightH1369; and they shall knowH3045 that my nameH8034 is YhwhH3068.1
