But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

The verse 17 is found in chapter 12 of Jeremiah. Yahweh laments that his own inheritance has become prey and compares Israel to an abandoned house. Shepherds and nations destroy the vineyard, but they too will be judged. The future restoration of neighboring nations is conditioned upon their learning Yahweh’s ways, introducing a missionary dimension even within judgment.

Wo sie aber nicht hören wollen, so will ich solches Volk ausreißen und umbringen, spricht der HERR.
Mas si no oyeren, arrancaré a la tal gente, sacándola de raíz, y destruyendo, dice Jehová.
Pero si no escuchan, arrancaré a esa nación, la arrancaré y la destruiré —declara Jehová—».
Mais s'ils n'écoutent rien, Je détruirai une telle nation, Je la détruirai, je la ferai périr, dit l'Eternel.
Ma se non ubbidiscono, io divellerò una cotal gente, divellendola, ed insieme distruggendola, dice il Signore
Mas se não quiserem ouvir, totalmente arrancarei a tal nação, e a farei perecer, diz o SENHOR.
他們若是不聽,我必拔出那國,不但拔出,還要毀滅。這是耶和華說的。」
