For thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem:

(A)“Break up your fallow ground,
    and (B)sow not among thorns.
(C)Circumcise yourselves to the Lord;
    remove the foreskin of your hearts,
    O men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem;
(D)lest my wrath go forth like fire,
    and burn with none to quench it,
    (E)because of the evil of your deeds.”

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

Break up your hard rocky soil;
    don’t plant among the thorns.
Dedicate[a] yourselves to the Lord;
    don’t be thick-skinned,[b]
        people of Judah and residents of Jerusalem,
    or else my anger will spread like a wildfire.
        It will burn, with no one to put it out,
        because of your evil deeds.
