³ For thus says Yahweh
    to the men^[a] of Judah and to Jerusalem,
“Break up for yourselves prepared virgin soil,
    and you must not sow among thornbushes.
⁴ Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh,
    and remove the foreskins of your hearts,^[b]
men^[c] of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
    lest my wrath goes forth like the fire and burns,
and there is no one who extinguishes it,^[d]
    because of the evil of your deeds.”
