If you return, Israel, return to me, declares the Lord.
    If you get rid of your disgusting idols from my presence
        and wander no more,
    and if you swear by the living God
        in truth, justice, and righteousness,
    then the nations will enjoy God’s blessings;[a]
        they will boast about him.

Break up your hard rocky soil;
    don’t plant among the thorns.
