Jeremiah 4:2
Compare all
1 “If you will return, O Israel,” says the Lord,
a“Return to Me;
And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight,
Then you shall not be moved. 
2 aAnd you shall swear, ‘The Lord lives,’
bIn truth, in1 judgment, and in righteousness;
cThe nations shall bless themselves in Him,
And in Him they shall dglory.”  
3 For thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem:
a“Break up your1 fallow ground,
And bdo not sow among thorns. 
4 aCircumcise yourselves to the Lord,
And take away the foreskins of your hearts,
You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Lest My fury come forth like fire,
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.”

Jeremiah 4:2

Thou shalt swear, The Lord liveth - Thou shalt not bind thyself by any false god; thou shalt acknowledge Me as the Supreme. Bind thyself By me, and To me; and do this in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness.

The nations shall bless themselves in him - They shall be so fully convinced of the power and goodness of Jehovah in seeing the change wrought on thee, and the mercies heaped upon thee, that their usual mode of benediction shall be, May the God of Israel bless thee!
