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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 Thus says the Lord concerning all my evil neighbors who touch the heritage that I have given my people Israel to inherit: I am about to pluck them up from their land, and I will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.(A) 15 And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, and I will bring them again to their heritage and to their land, every one of them.(B) 16 And then, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, “As the Lord lives,” as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they shall be built up in the midst of my people.(C) 17 But if any nation will not listen, then I will completely uproot it and destroy it, says the Lord.(D)
