Jeremiah 4:3-5

Contemporary English Version

^3 (A) People of Jerusalem and Judah,
    don't be so stubborn!
Your hearts have become hard,
like unplowed ground
    where thornbushes grow.
⁴ With all your hearts,
keep the agreement
    I made with you.
But if you are stubborn
    and keep on sinning,
my anger will burn like a fire
    that cannot be put out.

* ⁵ “Sound the trumpets, my people.
Warn the people of Judah,^[a]
    ‘Run for your lives!
