10 And it will come to pass, when you declare to this people all these words, and they say to you, ‘For what has YHWH spoken against us all this great evil? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against YHWH our God?’ 11 And you shall say to them ‘Upon that your⁺ fathers have forsaken Me, a declaration of YHWH, and they have walked after other gods, and they have served them and bowed down to them, and they have forsaken Me and have not kept My law. 12 And you⁺ have done worse than your⁺ fathers! And behold, you⁺ are walking, each man after the stubborness of his evil heart, so as to not listen to Me! 13 And I will cast you⁺ from this land, into a land that you have not known—you⁺ and your⁺ fathers. And there you⁺ will serve other gods day and night—where I will not give you⁺ favor!’ 14 Therefore, behold, the days are coming, a declaration of YHWH, and it will not be said anymore, ‘YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, 15 but only, ‘YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands to which He had driven them there.’ And I will bring them back to their land that I gave to their fathers. 16 Behold, I I will send for many fishermen, a declaration of YHWH, and they will catch them; and after this, I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them on every mountain and from every hill and from the clefts of the rocks. 17 For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, and their iniquity is not hidden from before My eyes! 18 And first I will repay double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcass of their detestable and abominable things!” 19 O YHWH, my strength and my fortress and My refuge in the day of distress—the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Surely our fathers have inherited lies, worthlessness—and no profit is in them! 20 Can man make gods for himself? And they are not gods!” 21 “Therefore, behold, I I will cause them to know, in this moment I will cause them to know My hand and My might; and they will know that My name is YHWH.
