Jeremiah 16:14-21
King James Version
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands 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 the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The Lord.

The Nation’s Return to the Land
14 Therefore[a] look, days are coming,’ declares[b] Yahweh, ‘and it will no longer be said, “As Yahweh lives,[c] who led up the Israelites[d] from the land of Egypt,” 15 but only[e] “As Yahweh lives,[f] who led up the Israelites[g] from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had driven them,” for I will bring them back to their ground that I gave to their ancestors.[h] 16 Look, I am sending for many fishermen,’ declares[i] Yahweh, ‘and they will fish them out, and afterward[j] I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and from the clefts of the cliffs. 17 For my eyes are on all their ways, they are not hidden from before me,[k] and their iniquity is not concealed from before my eyes. 18 And I will first doubly repay[l] their iniquity and their sin because of their profaning my land with the dead bodies[m] of their abhorrences, and with their abominations they have filled up my inheritance.’”
19 O Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold,
and my refuge in the day of distress,
to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth,
and they will say, “Our ancestors[n] have inherited only lies,[o]
vanity, and there is no profit in them.
20 Can a human make for himself gods?
Yet they are not gods!”
21 “Therefore[p] look, I am about to let them know,
this time I am going to let them know
my power[q] and my might,
and they will know that my name is Yahweh.”
