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.

14 Thus says Yahweh concerning all of the evil neighbors who touch the inheritance that I gave as an inheritance to my people Israel: “Look, I am about to drive them out from their land, and the house of Judah I will drive out from among them. 15 And then[a] 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,[b] if they diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘as Yahweh lives,’[c] 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.”[d] declares[e] Yahweh.
