Jeremiah 4:3-4
Legacy Standard Bible
3 For thus says Yahweh to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem,
“[a](A)Break up your fallow ground,
And (B)do not sow among thorns.
4 (C)Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh
And remove the foreskins of your heart,
Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Lest My (D)wrath go forth like fire
And burn with (E)none to quench it
Because of the evil of your deeds.”

Jeremiah 4:3-4
Common English Bible
3 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.
4 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.
