Jeremiah 16:16-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Punishment of Exile

¹⁶ “I am about to send for many fishermen”^(A)—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.^(B) They are not concealed from Me, and their guilt is not hidden from My sight. ¹⁸ I will first repay them double for their guilt^(C) and sin because they have polluted My land. They have filled My inheritance with the lifelessness of their detestable and abhorrent idols.”
