The coming punishment

16:16 The coming punishment

Southern kingdom

16 Listen, Yahweh declares:

I’ll send for many fishermen to fish the people out.

After that, I’ll send for many hunters

to hunt them from under every mountain and hill, and from the crevices in the rocks

17 because I’m watching everything they do

and their wicked behaviour can’t be hidden from me.

18 Firstly, I’ll pay back double for their disobedience and wickedness,

because of their polluting my land with their detestable carvings,

and because they filled my inheritance with their disgusting idols.”
