"If you will ^(C1)return, Israel," declares the LORD, "Then you should return to Me. And ^(C2)if you will put away your detestable things from My presence, And will not waver,

And if you will ^(C1)swear, 'As the LORD lives,' ^(C2)In truth, in justice, and in righteousness; Then the ^(C3)nations will bless themselves in Him, And ^(C4)in Him they will boast."

For this is what the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: "^(F1)(C1)Break up your uncultivated ground, And ^(C2)do not sow among thorns.

-"^(C1)Circumcise yourselves to the LORD And remove the foreskins of your hearts, Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Or else My ^(C2)wrath will spread like fire And burn with ^(C3)no one to quench it, Because of the evil of your deeds."
