Jeremiah 12:16

The Lord's Promise To Israel's Neighbors

¹⁵ And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, and I will bring them again each to his heritage and each to his land. ¹⁶ Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people. ¹⁷ But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, declares the LORD."

As the Lord Lives

In My Name

My People

Take Oaths

Make Sure

Baal
