Jeremiah 12:16-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ And if these [neighbor nations] will diligently learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, saying, As the Lord lives—even as they taught My people to swear by Baal—then will they be built up in the midst of My people.

¹⁷ But if any nation will not hear and obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, says the Lord.
