Jeremiah 4:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

“Your fields have not been plowed.
    Plow those fields!
    Don’t plant seeds among the thorns.
⁴ Become the Lord’s people.
    Change your hearts.^[a]
Men of Judah and people of Jerusalem, if you don’t change,
    then I will become very angry.
My anger will spread fast like a fire,
    and it will burn you up.
No one will be able to put out that fire
    because of the evil you have done.”

Tell everyone in the city of Jerusalem:
    ‘Blow the trumpet all over the country.’
Shout out loud and say,
    ‘Come together!
    Let us all escape to the strong cities for protection.’
