Literal Version

4:1 A call to turn back

4Yahweh says:

If you’ll return, Yisrael (Israel),

yes, if you’ll return to me

and remove those detestable idols away from me without wavering,

2and if you promise as Yahweh lives, in truth, justice, and righteousness,

then the nations will bless themselves in him,

and it’s him that they’ll boast about.

3Yes, tells the people from Yerushalem and across all Yehudah (Judah):

Plough your unploughed ground, but don’t sow thornbushes.[ref]

4Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh by removing the foreskins from your hearts

you people of Yerushalem and Yehudah,

so that my rage doesn’t burst out and burn like fire,

because there wouldn’t be anyone to extinguish it due to the wickedness of your behaviour.
