1 The LORD declares, |If you come back, Israel, if you come back to me, if you take your disgusting idols out of my sight and you don't wander away from me, 2 if you take the oath, |As the LORD lives...| in an honest, fair, and right way, then the nations will be blessed, and they will be honored by me.| 3 This is what the LORD says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem: Plow your unplowed fields, and don't plant among thorns. 4 Be circumcised by the LORD, and get rid of the foreskins of your hearts, people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. If you don't, my fury will flare up like a fire. It will burn, and no one will be able to put it out, because of the evil you do. Jeremiah 4:1-4, God's Word Translation.
