Jeremiah 12:16-17

Good News Translation

¹⁶ If with all their hearts they will accept the religion of my people and will swear, ‘As the Lord lives’—as they once taught my people to swear by Baal—then they will also be a part of my people and will prosper. ¹⁷ But if any nation will not obey, then I will completely uproot it and destroy it. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
