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.
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.”

    “Blow a horn through the land,
call with a loud voice[e] and say,
    ‘Be gathered and let us go into the fortified cities.’
