Jeremiah 16:16-18

New International Reader's Version

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. ¹⁸ I will pay them back double for their sin and the evil things they have done. They have made my land ‘unclean.’ They have set up lifeless statues of their evil gods. They have filled my land with them. I hate those gods.”
