Jeremiah 16:12-14

Jeremiah 16:12-14
The Voice
12 As for you, you are even worse than your ancestors because every one of your hearts is evil and stubborn, and you continue to ignore Me as you follow your own wicked ways. 13 For this reason, I will throw you out of this land into a land you and your ancestors have never known. There you will be able to serve these other gods all you want—day and night—for I will show you no compassion.
This horrible vision of judgment is tempered with words of God’s gracious restoration. Though the sentence against faithless Judah is harsh, it will not be the end of her.
(to the people) 14 Look, days are coming when people will remember how I restored you. They will no longer say, “As the Eternal lives who brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt.”

Jeremiah 16:12-14
New International Version
12 But you have behaved more wickedly than your ancestors.(A) See how all of you are following the stubbornness of your evil hearts(B) instead of obeying me. 13 So I will throw you out of this land(C) into a land neither you nor your ancestors have known,(D) and there you will serve other gods(E) day and night, for I will show you no favor.’(F)
14 “However, the days are coming,”(G) declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(H)
