Jeremiah 12:15-17 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

15. But after I pull them up out of their land, I will feel sorry for them. I will bring each family back to its own property and to its own land.

16. I want these people to learn their lessons well. In the past they taught my people to use Baal’s name to make promises. Now, I want them to learn to use my name. I want them to say, ‘As the Lord lives ….’ If they do that, I will allow them to be successful, and I will let them live among my people.

17. But if a nation does not listen to my message, I will completely destroy it. I will pull it up like a dead plant.” This message is from the Lord.
