Jeremiah 16 — Context

11

Then tell them that the LORD says,‘It is because your ancestors rejected me and paid allegiance to other gods. They have served them and worshiped them. But they have rejected me and not obeyed my law.

12

And you have acted even more wickedly than your ancestors! Each one of you has followed the stubborn inclinations of your own wicked heart and not obeyed me.

13

So I will throw you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your ancestors have ever known. There you must worship other gods day and night, for I will show you no mercy.’”

14

Yet I, the LORD, say:“A new time will certainly come. People now affirm their oaths with‘I swear as surely as the LORD lives who delivered the people of Israel out of Egypt.’

15

But in that time they will affirm them with‘I swear as surely as the LORD lives who delivered the people of Israel from the land of the north and from all the other lands where he had banished them.’ At that time I will bring them back to the land I gave their ancestors.”

16

But for now I, the LORD, say:“I will send many enemies who will catch these people like fishermen. After that I will send others who will hunt them out like hunters from all the mountains, all the hills, and the crevices in the rocks.

17

For I see everything they do. Their wicked ways are not hidden from me. Their sin is not hidden away where I cannot see it.
