Jeremiah 12:16-17

New King James Version

¹⁶ And it shall be, if they will learn carefully the ways of My people, ^(A)to swear by My name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ as they taught My people to swear by Baal, then they shall be ^(B)established in the midst of My people. ¹⁷ But if they do not ^(C)obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation,” says the Lord.
