and if you swear, “As the Lord lives!”
    in truth, in justice, and in uprightness,
then the nations will bless themselves by him
    and will glory in him.

For these are the words of the Lord to the people of Judah and Jerusalem:

Break up your unplowed ground
    and do not sow among thorns.
For the sake of the Lord be circumcised

    O men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
or my wrath will leap forth like fire
    and burn with no one to quench it
    because of your evil deeds.

Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
