The verse 20 is found in chapter 16 of Jeremiah. The future deliverance of Israel’s descendants will be so significant that it will be compared with the exodus, although it will come from many countries. Fishing and hunting symbolize the reach of judgment upon those who hide from God. The chapter concludes with a future confession by the nations: they will know that Yahweh is God.

Wie kann ein Mensch Götter machen, die doch keine Götter sind?

¿Puede un ser humano hacerse dioses? ¡Esos no son dioses!
L'homme peut-il se faire des dieux, Qui ne sont pas des dieux? -
Farebbesi l’uomo degl’iddii, i quali però non son dii?
Porventura fará um homem deuses para si, que contudo não são deuses?
人豈可為自己製造神明呢? 其實它們不是神明。」
