Jeremiah 12:14-17

Contemporary English Version

The Lord Will Have Pity on Other Nations

¹⁴ The Lord said:

I gave this land to my people Israel, but enemies around it have attacked and robbed it. So I will uproot them from their own countries just as I will uproot Judah from its land. ¹⁵ But later, I will have pity on these nations and bring them back to their own lands. ¹⁶ They once taught my people to worship Baal. But if they admit I am the only true God, and if they let my people teach them how to worship me, these nations will also become my people. ¹⁷ However, if they don't listen to me, I will uproot them from their lands and completely destroy them. I, the Lord, have spoken.
