"Yes, this is what the LORD has said to the people of Judah and Jerusalem:“Break up your unplowed ground, do not cast seeds among thorns."
— Jeremiah 4:3, NET Bible
“For thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.”
“For thus saith Jehovah to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. ”

“If you, Israel, want to come back,” says the LORD,“if you want to come back to me, you must get those disgusting idols out of my sight and must no longer go astray.
You must be truthful, honest and upright when you take an oath saying,‘As surely as the LORD lives!’ If you do, the nations will pray to be as blessed by him as you are and will make him the object of their boasting.”
Yes, this is what the LORD has said to the people of Judah and Jerusalem:“Break up your unplowed ground, do not cast seeds among thorns.
Commit yourselves to the LORD; Dedicate your hearts to me, people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Otherwise, my anger will blaze up like a flaming fire against you that no one will be able to extinguish. That will happen because of the evil you have done.”
Warning of Coming Judgment The LORD said,“Announce this in Judah and proclaim it in Jerusalem:‘Sound the trumpet throughout the land!’ Shout out loudly,‘Gather together! Let us flee into the fortified cities!’
Raise a signal flag that tells people to go to Zion. Run for safety! Do not delay! For I am about to bring disaster out of the north. It will bring great destruction.
