Judah's Neighbors Face Uprooting and Possible Return

Neighbors who seize the inheritance will themselves be uprooted

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.

The oracle does not authorize territorial revenge or fixed condemnation of modern neighboring peoples. Judah too is plucked from among them. Touching the inheritance is this book's charge, not a modern border war.

Compassion and rebuilding remain possible if they learn to swear by the LORD

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. And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

Restoration is offered to neighbors, not only to Judah. Learning must not become coerced worship. Being built in the midst of my people is hospitality under the Name, not forced conversion or ethnic erasure.
