Jeremiah 12:16

The Lord's Promise To Israel's Neighbors

¹⁵ And it will come about that, after they have been uprooted, I will again have pity on them; and I will take them back, every man to his heritage and every man to his land. ¹⁶ And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people. ¹⁷ But if they will not give ear, then I will have that nation uprooted, and given to destruction, says the Lord.

As the Lord Lives

In My Name

My People

Take Oaths

Make Sure

Baal

Jehovah
