a“Return to Me;
And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight,
Then you shall not be moved.
bIn truth, in1 judgment, and in righteousness;
cThe nations shall bless themselves in Him,
And in Him they shall dglory.”
a“Break up your1 fallow ground,
And bdo not sow among thorns.
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.”
An Imminent Invasion
a“Blow the trumpet in the land;
Cry, ‘Gather together,’
And say, b‘Assemble yourselves,
And let us go into the fortified cities.’

Jeremiah 4:3
Break up your fallow ground - Fallow ground is either that which, having been once tilled, has lain long uncultivated; or, ground slightly ploughed, in order to be ploughed again previously to its being sown. Ye have been long uncultivated in righteousness; let true repentance break up your fruitless and hardened hearts; and when the seed of the word of life is sown in them, take heed that worldly cares and concerns do not arise, and, like thorns, choke the good seed.
| << Jeremiah 4:2 | Jeremiah 4:4 >> |
