Jeremiah 16:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ But for now, I am sending enemies who will catch you like fish and hunt you down like wild animals in the hills and the caves.

¹⁷ I can see everything you are doing, even if you try to hide your sins from me. ¹⁸ I will punish you double for your sins, because you have polluted my own land. You have filled it with lifeless idols that remind me of dead bodies.
