Jeremiah 16:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ But now I will send enemies to catch these people. They will catch them like fishermen catch fish.^[a] They will chase after them like hunters who catch wild animals. They will find them everywhere in the mountains, in the hills and in holes in the rocks. ¹⁷ I am watching them carefully all the time. They cannot hide from me. I can see all their sins. ¹⁸ I will punish them for their sins. I will make them pay twice for the wrong things that they have done. That is because they have spoiled my land. They have made it unclean with their disgusting idols that have no life. They have filled my special land with the evil things that they have done.’
