Jeremiah 4:2-4
New International Reader's Version
Jeremiah 4:2-4
New International Reader's Version
2 Make all your promises in my name.
When you promise say, ‘You can be sure that the Lord is alive.’
Be truthful, fair and honest when you make these promises.
Then the nations will ask for blessings from me.
And they will boast about me.”
3 Here is what the Lord is telling the people of Judah and Jerusalem. He says,
“Your hearts are as hard as a field
that has not been plowed.
So change your ways and produce good crops.
Do not plant seeds among thorns.
4 People of Judah and you who live in Jerusalem, obey me.
Do not let your hearts be stubborn.
If you do, my anger will blaze out against you.
It will burn like fire because of the evil things you have done.
No one will be able to put it out.

Jeremiah 4:2-4
New International Version
2 and if in a truthful, just and righteous way
you swear,(A) ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’(B)
then the nations will invoke blessings(C) by him
and in him they will boast.(D)”
3 This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem:
“Break up your unplowed ground(E)
and do not sow among thorns.(F)
4 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
circumcise your hearts,(G)
you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
or my wrath(H) will flare up and burn like fire(I)
because of the evil(J) you have done—
burn with no one to quench(K) it.
