14Therefore, behold, days are coming, declares Yahweh, when it will no longer be said, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,’

15but, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where he had driven them.’ For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers.

16Look, I am sending for many fishermen, declares Yahweh, and they will catch them; and after that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the clefts of the rocks.

17For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, and their iniquity is not concealed from before my eyes.

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