16 Look!—oracle of the Lord—I will send many fishermen to catch them. After that, I will send many hunters to hunt them out from every mountain and hill and rocky crevice.
17 For my eyes are upon all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor does their guilt escape my sight.
18 I will at once repay them double for their crime and their sin because they profaned my land with the corpses of their detestable idols, and filled my heritage with their abominations.
19 Lord, my strength, my fortress,my refuge in the day of distress!To you nations will comefrom the ends of the earth, and say,“Our ancestors inherited mere frauds,empty, worthless.”
20 Can human beings make for themselves gods?But these are not gods at all!
21 Therefore, I will indeed give them knowledge;this time I will make them acknowledgeMy strength and my power:they shall know that my name is Lord.
