Jeremiah 16:16-21 - Punishment Of Exile

¹⁶ Behold me sending for many fishers, says Jehovah, and they fished them; and after this I will send for many hunters, and they hunted them from every mountain, and from every hill, and from the clefts of the rocks. ¹⁷ For mine eyes are upon all their ways, and they were not hid from my face, and their iniquity was not concealed from before mine eyes. ¹⁸ And I requited first double their iniquity and their sin, for their defiling my land, with the carcasses of their abominable things, and their abominations they filled up mine inheritance.

¹⁹ O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in days of straits, to thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and they shall say, Surely our fathers inherited falsehood, vanity, and no receiving profit in them. ²⁰ Shall man make to himself gods, and they not gods? ²¹ For this, behold me causing them to know in this once, I will cause them to know my hand and my strength; and they shall know that my name is Jehovah.
