Jeremiah 12:16

The Lord's Promise To Israel's Neighbors

¹⁵ It shall happen, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. ¹⁶ It shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Yahweh lives; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, says Yahweh.

As the Lord Lives

In My Name

My People

Take Oaths

Make Sure

Baal

Jehovah
