Jeremiah 12:16-17

Common English Bible

¹⁶ And then, if they will learn the ways of my people, to make a solemn pledge in my name, “As the Lord lives,” just as they once taught my people to swear to Baal, then they will be built up in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ But if they don’t listen, I will dig up that nation; yes, I will dig up and destroy, declares the Lord.
