Jeremiah 12:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Judah’s Evil Neighbors. Thus says the Lord, “As for all my evil neighbors who have seized the inheritance I gave to my people Israel, I will uproot them from their land, and from among them I will uproot the house of Judah. ¹⁵ But after I uproot them, I will again take pity on them and bring them back, each one to his own heritage and his own land.

¹⁶ “Then, if they carefully adhere to the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, ‘As the Lord lives,’ just as previously they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will be reestablished among my people.
