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.

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.
