Jeremiah 12:16-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, if they will be taught, and will learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name: The Lord liveth, as they have taught my people to swear by baal: that they shall be built up in the midst of my people.

¹⁷ But if they will not hear, I will utterly pluck out and destroy that nation, saith the Lord.
