For thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem:

(A)“Break up your [a]fallow ground,
And (B)do not sow among thorns.
(C)Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
And take away the foreskins of your hearts,
You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Lest My fury come forth like fire,
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.”
