Jeremiah 16:16

Punishment Of Exile

¹⁵ but rather, ‘As the Lord lives who brought the Israelites from the land of the north and from all the other lands where He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their ancestors. ¹⁶ “I am about to send for many fishermen”—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. They are not concealed from Me, and their guilt is not hidden from My sight.
