Commentary on Jeremiah 12:16

Theological / Devotional

Swear by my name. If a heathen nation would turn to Jehovah, the God of Israel, that nation would “be built in the midst” of His people, that is, be counted as belonging to the Lord. It was God’s purpose that these nations should turn to Him and be added to His people, Israel.
