Jeremiah 4:1-2
New Living Translation
4 “O Israel,” says the Lord,
“if you wanted to return to me, you could.
You could throw away your detestable idols
and stray away no more.
2 Then when you swear by my name, saying,
‘As surely as the Lord lives,’
you could do so
with truth, justice, and righteousness.
Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world,
and all people would come and praise my name.”
Jeremiah 4:1-2
Lexham English Bible
4 If you return, O Israel,” declares[a] Yahweh,
“you return to me.
And if you remove your abominations from my presence,[b]
and you do not wander,
2 and you swear, ‘As Yahweh lives,’[c]
in truth, in justice, and in righteousness,
then nations will be blessed by him,
and in him they will boast.”
