“If you will return, Israel,
then return to me,” says the LORD.
“If you will throw away your idols that I hate,
then don’t wander away from me.
If you say when you make a promise,
‘As surely as the LORD lives,’
and you can say it in a truthful, honest, and right way,
then the nations will be blessed by him,
and they will praise him for what he has done.”
