Jeremiah 4:1-3

Contemporary English Version

Israel, if you really want
to come back to me, get rid
    of those disgusting idols.
² Make promises only in my name,
    and do what you promise!
Then all nations will praise me,
    and I will bless them.
^3 (A) People of Jerusalem and Judah,
    don't be so stubborn!
Your hearts have become hard,
like unplowed ground
    where thornbushes grow.
