Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says LORD, and they shall fish them up. And afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.

For my eyes are upon all their ways. They are not hid from my face, nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
