Jeremiah 4:1-3

The Voice

4 Eternal One: O Israel if you turn, turn home to Me.
        Just turn away from the vile worship of those things,
        those idols that repulse Me.
    Put them out of My sight for good.
        Come home to Me and never stray.
²     If you make a promise in My name, saying, “As the Eternal lives,”
        and do so in truth, justice, and righteousness,
    Then the nations will discover true blessing in Me
        and give Me the praise I deserve.

Eternal One: Break up the hard, untilled soil!
        It is a waste to plant seeds among thorns.
