4 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith Jehovah, if thou wilt return unto me, and ^[a]if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight; then shalt thou not be removed; ² and thou shalt swear, As Jehovah liveth, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. ³ For thus saith Jehovah to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
