Context — A Message for Israel’s Neighbors
13They have sown wheat but harvested thorns. They have exhausted themselves to no avail. Bear the shame of your harvest because of the fierce anger of the LORD.”
14This is what the LORD says: “As for all My evil neighbors who attack the inheritance that I bequeathed to My people Israel, I am about to uproot them from their land, and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them.
15But after I have uprooted them, I will once again have compassion on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land.
16And if they will diligently learn the ways of My people and swear by My name, saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives’—just as they once taught My people to swear by Baal—then they will be established among My people. 17But if they will not obey, then I will uproot that nation; I will uproot it and destroy it, declares the LORD.”Cross References

Jeremiah 12:15 Summary
Jeremiah 12:15 tells us that even when God has to remove or 'uproot' nations because of their evil actions, He still has a plan to show them mercy and restore them to their homes. This shows us that God is a God of second chances, much like He gives us second chances when we sin, as seen in 1 John 1:9. God's ultimate desire is for all nations to know Him and live in peace, as promised in Isaiah 2:4. By understanding this, we can trust in God's goodness and love for all people, regardless of their background or current situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God to 'uproot' a nation?
When God uproots a nation, it means He is removing them from their land and position of power, often as a form of judgment, as seen in Jeremiah 12:14 and also in Deuteronomy 28:63-64 where God warns of dispersal among the nations if Israel does not obey Him.
Why would God have compassion on nations He has uprooted?
God's compassion, as mentioned in Jeremiah 12:15, stems from His loving and merciful nature, as expressed in Exodus 34:6-7, where He describes Himself as 'abounding in love and faithfulness' and forgiving wickedness.
How does this verse relate to God's plan for Israel?
This verse is part of God's broader plan for Israel and the nations, as outlined in Ezekiel 36:24, where God promises to gather Israel from the nations and bring them back to their own land, showcasing His faithfulness to His covenant promises.
What does 'return each one to his inheritance and to his land' signify?
This phrase signifies the restoration of each nation or people to their rightful place and territory, reflecting God's original intention for the nations, as seen in Acts 17:26-27, where Paul explains that God determined the times and boundaries of every nation.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse teach me about God's character, particularly regarding His justice and mercy?
- How can I apply the principle of God's compassionate restoration in my own life, especially in times of personal uprooting or challenge?
- In what ways can I be a part of sharing God's love and plan of restoration with the nations around me, as hinted at in Jeremiah 12:16?
- What are some modern-day examples of nations or peoples being 'uprooted' and how can the church respond in a manner that reflects God's heart of compassion?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 12:15
And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out,.... Not the Jews only, but more especially their neighbouring nations; after they have been plucked up and carried captive, and been in
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 12:15
Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:15
This seemeth not to be a prophecy only of the Jews’ return into their land after the fulfilling of the years of their captivity, but also of the bringing back of these nations after that they should be plucked up, and seems to relate to the calling of the Gentiles; but this prophecy must be limited by what followeth in the next verse, and not understood of all the inhabitants of those nations.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:15
Jeremiah 12:15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.Ver. 15. After that I have plucked them out,] sc., In both senses. I will return.] In the "midst of judgment, I will remember mercy." And bring again every man to his heritage.] To the Church; for in every nation he that feareth God and worketh righteousness shall be accepted with him, and have a child’ s part, even the reward of inheritance.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:15
(15) I will return, and have compassion on them.—The words refer, as Jeremiah 12:16 shows, not to Judah only, but to the “evil neighbours.” For them also there is hope, and that hope is bound up with the return of Judah. Strong as was the prophet’s desire for retribution, it is overpowered by the new love shed abroad in his soul, and he sees that it does not exclude, even in their case, the pity and the yearning that look beyond it for an ultimate restoration.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:15
Verse 15. I will return, and have compassion on them] This is a promise of restoration from the captivity, and an intimation also that some of their enemies would turn to the true God with them; learn the ways of his people; that is, would abjure idols, and take Jehovah for their God; and be built in the midst of his people, that is, Jew and Gentile forming one Church of the Most High.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 12:15
Ch. Jeremiah 12:7-17. Devastation of Judah to be wrought by hostile neighbours, who shall be punished by exile unless they submit to the God of Israel Jehovah in pathetic language deplores the necessity of permitting the devastation of His land. This section has no connexion with the preceding or subsequent context. It may safely be dated late in Jehoiakim’s reign, as relating to the attack upon Judah on the part of Chaldaeans, Syrians, Moabites, and Ammonites (see 2 Kings 24:1 f.), under the figure of birds of prey attacking one whose plumage attracts their attention as unusual. Du. places Jeremiah 12:14-17 in the 2nd cent. b.c. He considers “the evil neighbours” of Jeremiah 12:14 to mean the persons of various nationalities who were living in the land in the time of John Hyrcanus and his son. He compares Zechariah 14:16 ff.; Isaiah 19:16 ff. as having a similar reference. But, as Pe. says, we do not in those passages, as here, read of exile followed by restoration, nor would a writer of the 2nd cent. b.c. have put into the mouth of Jeremiah a prediction which in fact was not realised. The section may be subdivided thus.
(i) Jeremiah 12:7-13. Jehovah’s heritage has turned as a savage beast against Him. Therefore He has given her over to be the prey of neighbouring nations. She is like a speckled bird attacked by her own kind. The country is laid waste, because its inhabitants took no serious thought. The culture of the land brings no produce, because of the wrath of Jehovah. (ii) Jeremiah 12:14-17. Judah’s foes shall themselves be driven into exile—permanent, if they refuse to hear Jehovah; but, if they turn to Him, they shall be restored to their lands.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:15
15. After that I have plucked — Sharing in Israel’s calamity, they shall also share in Israel’s mercy. I will return, etc. — I will again have compassion, a very common Hebraism.
