Jeremiah 12:16

The Lord's Promise To Israel's Neighbors

¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them up, I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them back, each one to his inheritance, and each one to his land. ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Jehovah liveth even as they taught my people to swear by Baal they shall be built up in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ And if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith Jehovah.

As the Lord Lives

In My Name

My People

Take Oaths

Make Sure

Baal

Jehovah
