14 This is what the Lord says: “Concerning all My evil neighbors who attack the inheritance that I bequeathed to My people, Israel, I am about to uproot them(A) from their land, and I will uproot the house of Judah from them. 15 After I have uprooted them, I will once again have compassion(B) on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land. 16 If they will diligently learn the ways of My people(C)—to swear by My name, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ just as they taught My people to swear by Baal—they will be built up among My people. 17 However, if they will not obey, then I will uproot and destroy that nation.”(D)

This is the Lord’s declaration.
