Jeremiah 12:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ But after I pull them up, I will feel sorry for them. I will bring each person back to his own property. And I will bring him back to his own land. ¹⁶ I want them 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 surely as the Lord lives . . .’ If they do, I will allow them to be successful. And I will let them live among my people. ¹⁷ But a nation might not listen to my message. If it doesn’t, I will pull it up completely and destroy it,” says the Lord.
