of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
016:015 but, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel
from the land of the north, and from all the countries where
he had driven them. I will bring them again into their land
that I gave to their fathers.
016:016 Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Yahweh, and they
shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters,
and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill,
and out of the clefts of the rocks.
016:017 For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from
my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
016:018 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double,
