Jeremiah 12:14-17
New American Standard Bible
14 This is what the Lord says concerning all My (A)wicked neighbors who (B)do harm to the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel: “Behold, I am going to drive them out of their land, and I will (C)drive the house of Judah out from among them. 15 And it will come about that after I have driven them out, I will (D)again have compassion on them; and I will (E)bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. 16 Then, if they will really (F)learn the ways of My people, to (G)swear by My name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ just as they taught My people to (H)swear by Baal, they will be (I)built up in the midst of My people. 17 But if they do not listen, then I will (J)drive out that nation, drive it out and destroy it,” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 12:14-17
International Standard Version
God’s Word about Judah’s Neighbors
14 This is what the Lord says about all the wicked neighbors who strike out against the land[a] I’ve given to my people Israel as their inheritance:[b] “I’m about to uproot them from their land, and I’ll uproot the house of Judah from among them. 15 After I’ve uprooted them, I’ll again have compassion on them. I’ll return each one of them to his inheritance, and each one to his own land. 16 If they have learned the ways of my people well, to swear by my name: ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’ just as they once taught my people to swear by Baal, then they’ll be built up among my people. 17 But if they don’t listen, then I’ll completely uproot that nation and destroy it,” declares the Lord.
