Jeremiah 12:16

The Lord's Promise To Israel's Neighbors

¹⁵ And it will be after I have plucked them out, I will return and have pity on them, and will bring them again, each man to his inheritance and each man to his land. ¹⁶ And it will be if they will carefully learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, As Jehovah lives; as they taught the people to swear by Baal; then they shall be built in the midst of My people. ¹⁷ But if they will not obey, I will uproot and destroy that nation, says Jehovah.

As the Lord Lives

In My Name

My People

Take Oaths

Make Sure

Baal

Jehovah
