1 The Lord said:Israel, if you really wantto come back to me, get ridof those disgusting idols.
2 Make promises only in my name,and do what you promise!Then all nations will praise me,and I will bless them.
3 People of Jerusalem and Judah,don't be so stubborn!Your hearts have become hard,like unploughed groundwhere thorn bushes grow.
4 With all your hearts,keep the agreementI made with you.But if you are stubbornand keep on sinning,my anger will burn like a firethat cannot be put out.
