Jeremiah 4:2

And thou—rather, "And if (carried on from Jeremiah 4:1) thou shalt swear, 'Jehovah liveth,' in truth, etc.", that is, if thou shalt worship Him (for we swear by the God whom we worship; compare Deuteronomy 6:13; Deuteronomy 10:20; Isaiah 19:18; Amos 8:14) in sincerity, etc.

and the nations—Rather, this is apodosis to the "if"; then shall the nations bless themselves in (by) Him" (Isaiah 65:16). The conversion of the nations will be the consequence of Israel's conversion (Psalms 102:13, Psalms 102:15; Romans 11:12, Romans 11:15).
