Jeremiah 12:16

The Lord's Promise To Israel's Neighbors

¹⁵ But after I have taken them away I will have mercy on them. I will bring each nation back to its own land and to its own country. 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 However if any nation will not obey I will completely uproot it and destroy it. I, Jehovah, have spoken.

As the Lord Lives

In My Name

My People

Take Oaths

Make Sure

Baal

Jehovah
