Jeremiah 12 (NKJV)

¹ Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? ² But far from their mind. ³ And prepare them for the day of slaughter. ⁴ Because they said, “He will not see our final end.” ⁵ Then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan? ⁶ Even though they speak smooth words to you. ⁷ I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies. ⁸ Therefore I have hated it. ⁹ Bring them to devour! ¹⁰ They have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. ¹¹ Because no one takes it to heart. ¹² No flesh shall have peace. ¹³ Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.” ¹⁴ Thus says the Lord: “Against all My evil neighbors who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit—behold, I will pluck them out of their land and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. ¹⁵ Then it shall be, after I have plucked them out, that I will return and have compassion on them and bring them back, everyone to his heritage and everyone to his land. ¹⁶ And it shall be, if they will learn carefully the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ as they taught My people to swear by Baal, then they shall be established in the midst of My people. ¹⁷ But if they do not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation,” says the Lord.
