Jeremiah 12:16-17

Modern English Version

¹⁶ It shall come to pass if they will diligently learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, “As the Lord lives,” as they taught My people to swear by Baal, then they will be built up in the midst of My people. ¹⁷ But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, says the Lord.
