Jeremiah 12:14-17
English Standard Version
14 Thus says the Lord concerning all (A)my evil neighbors (B)who touch the heritage that (C)I have given my people Israel to inherit: “Behold, I will pluck them up from their land, and I will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. 15 And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, (D)and I will bring them again each to his heritage and each to his land. 16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, (E)to swear by my name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, (F)then they shall be built up in the midst of my people. 17 (G)But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, declares the Lord.”

Jeremiah 12:14-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 This is what the Lord says: “Concerning all My evil neighbors who attack the inheritance that I bequeathed to My people, Israel, I am about to uproot them(A) from their land, and I will uproot the house of Judah from them. 15 After I have uprooted them, I will once again have compassion(B) on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land. 16 If they will diligently learn the ways of My people(C)—to swear by My name, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ just as they taught My people to swear by Baal—they will be built up among My people. 17 However, if they will not obey, then I will uproot and destroy that nation.”(D)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
