This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem:

“Plow your unplowed fields [C a metaphor for changing their spiritual condition],
    and don’t ·plant seeds [sow] among thorns.
·Give yourselves to the service of [L Circumcise yourself to] the Lord [C a metaphor for obedience],
    and ·decide to obey him [L remove the foreskin of your heart; 9:25; Deut. 10:16],
    people of Judah and ·people [L inhabitants] of Jerusalem.
If you don’t, my anger will ·spread among you [flare/blaze up] like a fire,
    and no one will be able to ·put it out [quench it],
    because of the evil you have done.
