Jeremiah 12:16

The Lord's Promise To Israel's Neighbors

¹⁵ {And then} after my driving them out, I will once again have compassion on them, and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance, and each one to his land. ¹⁶ {And then}, if they diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, '{as Yahweh lives},' even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will live in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ But if they do not listen, then {I will completely uproot and destroy that nation}." {declares} Yahweh.

As the Lord Lives

In My Name

My People

Take Oaths

Make Sure

Baal

Jehovah
