Jeremiah 4:1-3
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
4 If you return, O Israel,
says the Lord,
if you return to me,
if you remove your abominations from my presence,
and do not waver,
2 and if you swear, ‘As the Lord lives!’
in truth, in justice, and in uprightness,
then nations shall be blessed[a] by him,
and by him they shall boast.
3 For thus says the Lord to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
Break up your fallow ground,
and do not sow among thorns.
