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.”

Afterward I will send a party of hunters to hunt them down on every mountain, hill, and cave. 17 I am watching their every move; not one is hidden from me. Nor is their sin concealed from my sight. 18 I will initially pay them back double for their evil and sin, because they have corrupted my land with their disgusting, lifeless idols and have filled my inheritance with their detestable practices.
