Jeremiah 4:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² Make promises only in my name,
    and do what you promise!
Then all nations will praise me,
    and I will bless them.
^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.
