The Lord Will Restore Israel

Jeremiah 16

14 b "Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, c 'As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,' 15 but c 'As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel d out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.' For e I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers.

16 "Behold, f I am sending for many fishers, declares the Lord, and they shall catch them. And afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out g of the clefts of the rocks. 17 For h my eyes are on all their ways. i They are not hidden from me, i nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes. 18 But first j I will doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and k have filled my inheritance with their abominations."

19 l O Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
m my refuge in the day of trouble,
n to you shall the nations come
from the ends of the earth and say:
"Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies,
o worthless things in which there is no profit.
 20 Can man make for himself p gods?
Such are not gods!"

21 "Therefore, behold, I will make them know, this once I will make them know my power and my might, and they shall know that q my name is the Lord."
