Jeremiah 12:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 12:14

12 The plunderers have come
On all the desolate heights in the wilderness,
For the sword of the Lord shall devour
From one end of the land to the other end of the land;
No flesh shall have peace.

13 ^aThey have¹ sown wheat but reaped thorns;
They have put themselves to pain but do not profit.
But be ashamed of your harvest
Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.”

14 Thus says the Lord: “Against all My evil neighbors who ^atouch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit—behold, I will ^bpluck them out of their land and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

15 ^aThen it shall be, after I have plucked them out, that I will return and have compassion on them ^band 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, ^ato swear by My name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ as they taught My people to swear by Baal, then they shall be ^bestablished in the midst of My people.

17 But if they do not ^aobey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation,” says the Lord.
