Jeremiah 12:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ “This is what I, the Lord, say about all my evil neighbors who take the inheritance that I gave my people Israel: I am going to uproot those neighbors from their lands. I will also uproot the people of Judah from among them. ¹⁵ After I’ve uprooted them, I will have compassion on them again. I will return them to their inheritance and to their lands. ¹⁶ Suppose they learn carefully the ways of my people. Suppose they take an oath in my name, ‘As the Lord lives …’ as they taught my people to take an oath in ⌞the name of⌟ Baal. Then they will build homes among my people.
