Jeremiah 16:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ Instead, they will say, ‘The Lord brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north. He gathered them out of all the countries where he had forced them to go. And that’s just as sure as he is alive.’ I will bring them back to the land I gave their people of long ago.

¹⁶ “But now I will send for many fishermen,” announces the Lord. “They will catch some of these people. After that, I will send for many hunters. They will hunt down the others on every mountain and hill. They will bring them out of the cracks in the rocks. ¹⁷ My eyes see everything these people do. What they do is not hidden from me. I always see their sin.
