They Shall Know My Name Is Yahweh

14 (A)Therefore behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As Yahweh lives, who (B)brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ 15 but, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the (C)land of the north and from all the lands where He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their own land which I gave to their fathers.

16 “Behold, I am going to send for many (D)fishermen,” declares Yahweh, “and they will fish for them; and afterwards I will send for many hunters, and they will (E)hunt them (F)from every mountain and every hill and from the crevices of the rocks. 17 (G)For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, (H)nor is their iniquity concealed from My eyes. 18 I will first (I)doubly repay their iniquity and their sin because they have (J)profaned My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their (K)detestable idols and with their abominations.”

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

16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Jehovah, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. 17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways; they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from mine eyes. 18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, [a]because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled mine inheritance with their abominations.
