The Nation’s Return to the Land
14 Therefore[a] look, days are coming,’ declares[b] Yahweh, ‘and it will no longer be said, “As Yahweh lives,[c] who led up the Israelites[d] from the land of Egypt,” 15 but only[e] “As Yahweh lives,[f] who led up the Israelites[g] from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had driven them,” for I will bring them back to their ground that I gave to their ancestors.[h] 16 Look, I am sending for many fishermen,’ declares[i] Yahweh, ‘and they will fish them out, and afterward[j] I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and from the clefts of the cliffs.
