Jeremiah 12:16

The Lord's Promise To Israel's Neighbors

¹⁵ And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. ¹⁶ Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people. ¹⁷ But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it,” declares the Lord.

As the Lord Lives

In My Name

My People

Take Oaths

Make Sure

Baal

Jehovah
