Jeremiah 16:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 16:17

15 but, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the ^anorth and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For ^bI will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.

16 “Behold, I will send for many ^afishermen,” says the Lord, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

17 For My ^aeyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.

18 And first I will repay ^adouble for their iniquity and their sin, because ^bthey have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.”

19 O Lord, ^amy strength and my fortress,
^bMy refuge in the day of affliction,
The Gentiles shall come to You
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Surely our fathers have inherited lies,
Worthlessness and ^cunprofitable things.”

20 Will a man make gods for himself,
^aWhich are not gods?
