Jeremiah 12:17
But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
But if they will not obey,.... Or "hear" {k}; the word of the Lord, and hearken to the ministers of the Gospel, and be subject to the ordinances of it; or as the Targum,
"will not receive instruction:''
I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD: root it up from being a nation, strip it of all its privileges and enjoyments, and destroy it with an everlasting destruction; see
