New Testament

Jeremiah 16:14-21 Modern English Version (MEV)

14. Therefore, surely the days are coming, says the Lord, that it will no longer be said, “As the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,”

15. but, “As the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands wherever He had driven them.” And I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.

16. Now, I will send for many fishermen, says the Lord, and they shall fish for them; andafterwards I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountainand from every hill and out of the holes of the rocks.

17. For My eyes are upon all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.

18. First I will doubly recompense their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things.

19. O Lord, my strength and my fortress,and my refuge in the day of affliction,the nations will come to Youfrom the remote parts of the earth, and will say:Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity,and things in which there is no profit.

20. Shall a man make gods for himself,which are not gods?

21. “Therefore, surely I will this once cause them to know,I will cause them to knowMy hand and My might;and they shall knowthat My name is the Lord.”
