The LORD’s word “If you will return, Israel” and “Break up your fallow ground”
"이스라엘아 네가 돌아오려거든 내게로 돌아오라" 하시고 스스로 할례를 행하여 여호와께 속하라 하신 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 4:1–4: “If you will return, Israel,” says the LORD, “if you will return to me, and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight; then you will not be removed; and you will swear, ‘As the LORD lives,’ in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. The nations will bless themselves in him, and they will glory in him.” For the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, “Break up your fallow ground, and don’t sow among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.” WEB does not close at 4:4 the words it opens at 4:3; they run on to 4:6. The Korean Revised Version opens 4:1 with 여호와께서 가라사대 and a command (내게로 돌아오라), gives 4:2 in the LORD’s first person (나로 인하여) where WEB reads “in him”, and gives 4:3 in the LORD’s first person as well (나 여호와가 유다와 예루살렘 사람에게 이같이 이르노라).
