Jeremiah 16:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel [a]from the land of the North, and from all the lands where he had scattered them, and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
16 Behold, saith the Lord, I will send out many [b]fishers, and they shall fish them, and after will I send out many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the caves 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.
