Jeremiah 12:14

Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning all my wicked neighbours, who have been touching the inheritance which I gave as an inheritance unto my people Israel,—Behold me! uprooting them from off their own soil, Whereas the house of Judah, will I uproot out of their midst.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

15And it shall come to pass after I bare uprooted them, I will again have compassion upon them,—and will bring them back—Every man—to his own inheritance and Every man—to his own land.
