Jeremiah 16:14-21 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

14. Therefore, behold, the days come,

15. But, The LORD lives, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

16. Behold, I will send for many fishermen,

17. For my eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from my eyes.

18. And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled my inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.

19. O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations shall come unto you from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things in which there is no profit.

20. Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

21. Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
