Jeremiah 16:15-17
Living Bible
14-15 But there will come a glorious day, says the Lord, when the whole topic of conversation will be that God is bringing his people home from a nation in the north, and from many other lands where he had scattered them. You will look back no longer to the time when I rescued you from your slavery in Egypt. That mighty miracle will scarcely be mentioned anymore. Yes, I will bring you back again, says the Lord, to this same land I gave your fathers.
16 Now I am sending for many fishermen to fish you from the deeps where you are hiding from my wrath. I am sending for hunters to chase you down like deer in the forests or mountain goats on inaccessible crags. Wherever you run to escape my judgment, I will find you and punish you. 17 For I am closely watching you, and I see every sin. You cannot hope to hide from me.

Jeremiah 16:15-17
New International Version
15 but it will be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north(A) and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’(B) For I will restore(C) them to the land I gave their ancestors.(D)
16 “But now I will send for many fishermen,” declares the Lord, “and they will catch them.(E) After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt(F) them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks.(G) 17 My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden(H) from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes.(I)
