14 Yahweh says this: All my evil neighbours who touch the inheritance that I gave to my Israeli people, listen, I’ll uproot them from the land, and I’ll uproot Yehudah’s descendants from among them. 15 Then after I’ve uprooted them, I’ll have compassion on them again, and I’ll bring them back—each one back to their own inheritance and their own land. 16 If they’ll properly learn the ways of my people, to make promises using my name saying, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ instead of how my people were taught to make promises by Baal, then they’ll prosper and be my people again. 17 However if they won’t listen when I uproot the nation, then I’ll uproot it to destroy it. That is Yahweh’s declaration.
