Jeremiah 12:14-17
New Living Translation
A Message for Israel’s Neighbors
14 Now this is what the Lord says: “I will uproot from their land all the evil nations reaching out for the possession I gave my people Israel. And I will uproot Judah from among them. 15 But afterward I will return and have compassion on all of them. I will bring them home to their own lands again, each nation to its own possession. 16 And if these nations truly learn the ways of my people, and if they learn to swear by my name, saying, ‘As surely as the Lord lives’ (just as they taught my people to swear by the name of Baal), then they will be given a place among my people. 17 But any nation who refuses to obey me will be uprooted and destroyed. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

14 Thus says Yahweh concerning all My (A)evil neighbors who (B)beat at the inheritance with which I have caused My people Israel to inherit, “Behold, I am about to uproot them from their land and will (C)uproot the house of Judah from among them. 15 And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will (D)return and have compassion on them; and I will (E)cause them to return, 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 Yahweh lives,’ even 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 will not listen, then I will (J)uproot that nation, uproot and make it perish,” declares Yahweh.
