4:1 A call to turn back

Northern kingdom

4 Yahweh says:

If you’ll return, Yisrael (Israel),

yes, if you’ll return to me

and remove those detestable idols away from me without wavering,

2 and 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.

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

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

4 Circumcise 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.

4:3: Hos 10:12.

4 If you_will_return Oh_Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) the_utterance_of YHWH to_me you_will_return and_if you_will_remove things_of_your_detestable from_presence_of_my and_not you_will_waver.

2 And_you_will_swear by_the_life of_YHWH in_faithfulness in_justice and_in_righteousness and_they_will_bless_themselves in_him/it nations and_in_him they_will_boast.

3 If/because thus YHWH he_says to_the_man_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_to_Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) plow to/for_you(pl) unplowed_ground and_do_not sow to thorns.

4 Circumcise_yourselves to_YHWH and_remove the_foreskins_of your_heart_of_your(pl) Oh_man_of Yəhūdāh and_the_inhabitants_of Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) lest it_should_go_forth like_fire rage_of_my and_it_will_burn and_there_will_not_be one_who_extinguishes from_face/in_front_of the_wickedness_of your(pl)_deeds_of_your(pl).
