Jeremiah 16:14-18

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.”

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
God Will Restore Israel
14 Therefore, the days are surely coming, says the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, “As the Lord lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of Egypt,”(A) 15 but “As the Lord lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the lands where he had driven them.” For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their ancestors.(B)
16 I am now sending for many fishermen, says the Lord, and they shall catch them, and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill and out of the clefts of the rocks.(C) 17 For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my presence, nor is their iniquity concealed from my sight.(D) 18 And[a] I will doubly repay their iniquity and their sin because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.(E)
