Jeremiah 16:14-18
New American Standard Bible
God Will Restore Them
14 “(A)Therefore behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives, who (B)brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ 15 but, ‘As the Lord 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 restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers.
16 “Behold, I am going to send for many (D)fishermen,” declares the Lord, “and they will fish for them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will (E)hunt them (F)from every mountain and every hill and from the clefts of the rocks. 17 (G)For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, (H)nor is their wrongdoing concealed from My eyes. 18 I will first repay them (I)double for their wrongdoing and their sin, because they have (J)defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their (K)detestable idols and their abominations.”

Jeremiah 16:14-18
Christian Standard Bible
14 “However, look, the days are coming”(A)—the Lord’s declaration—“when it will no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives who brought the Israelites from the land of Egypt,’(B) 15 but rather, ‘As the Lord lives who brought the Israelites from the land of the north(C) and from all the other lands where he had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their ancestors.(D)
Punishment of Exile
16 “I am about to send for many fishermen”(E)—this is the Lord’s declaration—“and they will fish for them. Then I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill and out of the clefts of the rocks, 17 for my gaze takes in all their ways.(F) They are not concealed from me, and their iniquity is not hidden from my sight. 18 I will first repay them double for their iniquity(G) and sin because they have polluted my land. They have filled my inheritance with the carcasses of their abhorrent and detestable idols.”
