THE MESSAGE
"On the other hand, don't miss this: The time is coming when no one will say any longer, ‘As sure as God lives, the God who delivered Israel from Egypt.' What they'll say is, ‘As sure as God lives, the God who brought Israel back from the land of the north, brought them back from all the places where he'd scattered them.' That's right, I'm going to bring them back to the land I first gave to their ancestors.

Contextual Overview
14Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when men will no longer say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.'15Instead they will say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.' For I will return them to their land that I gave to their ancestors. 16But for now I will send for many fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks. 17For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes. 18And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations." 19O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, "Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all." 20Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods! 21"Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord,.... Or nevertheless, "notwithstanding" d their sins and iniquities, and the punishment brought upon them for them: or "surely", verily; for Jarchi says it is an oath, with which the Lord swore he would redeem them, though they had behaved so ill unto him:
that it shall no more be said, the Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; this was the form of an oath with the Jews, when a man, as Kimchi observes, used to swear by the living God that brought Israel out of Egypt; or this was a fact which they used frequently to make mention of, and relate to their children; and observe to them the power and goodness of God in it; and so the Targum,
"there shall be no more any declaring the power of the Lord who brought up, &c.''
d So Noldius, Concord. Ebr. p. 507.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
These two verses, by promising a deliverance greater than that from Egypt, implied also a chastisement more terrible than the bondage in the iron furnace there. Instead of their being placed in one land, there was to be a scattering into the north and many other countries, followed finally by a restoration.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 16:14. The Lord liveth, that brought up — See Isaiah 43:18.
