God’s Word about Judah’s Neighbors

¹⁴ This is what the Lord says about all the wicked neighbors who strike out against the land^[a] I’ve given to my people Israel as their inheritance:^[b] “I’m about to uproot them from their land, and I’ll uproot the house of Judah from among them. ¹⁵ After I’ve uprooted them, I’ll again have compassion on them. I’ll return each one of them to his inheritance, and each one to his own land. ¹⁶ If they have learned the ways of my people well, to swear by my name: ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’ just as they once taught my people to swear by Baal, then they’ll be built up among my people.
