4 If you return,[a] Israel—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
you will return to me,(A)
if you remove your abhorrent idols(B)
from my presence
and do not waver,

in truth,(D) justice, and righteousness,(E)
and then the nations will be blessed[b] by him(F)
and will boast in him.(G)

Judah Threatened with Invasion
4 “If you will (A)return, Israel,” declares the Lord,
“Then you should return to Me.
And (B)if you will put away your detestable things from My presence,
And will not waver,
2 And if you will (C)swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’
(D)In truth, in justice, and in righteousness;
Then the (E)nations will bless themselves in Him,
And (F)in Him they will boast.”
