Jeremiah 12:17

17 But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, says the LORD."

Jeremiah 12:17 In-Context

15 And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, and I will bring them again each to his heritage and each to his land.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, 'As the LORD lives,' even as they taught my people to swear by Ba'al, then they shall be built up in the midst of my people.
17 But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, says the LORD."
