“If you will return, Israel,
return to me,”
announces the Lord.
“Put the statues of your gods out of my sight.
I hate them.
Stop going down the wrong path.
2Take all of your oaths in my name.
Say, ‘You can be sure that the Lord is alive.’
Let all of your promises be truthful, fair and honest.
Then I will bless the nations.
And they will take delight in me.”

declares the Lord,
to me you should return.
If you remove your detestable things from my presence,
and do not waver,
and if you swear, ‘As the Lord lives,’
in truth, in justice, and in righteousness,
then nations shall bless themselves in him,
and in him shall they glory.”

If you return, Israel—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
you will return to me,
if you remove your abhorrent idols
from my presence
and do not waver,
then you can swear, “As the Lord lives,”
in truth, justice, and righteousness,
and then the nations will be blessed by him
and will boast in him.

NLTNew Living Translation
“O Israel,” says the Lord,
“if you wanted to return to me, you could.
You could throw away your detestable idols
and stray away no more.
Then when you swear by my name, saying,
‘As surely as the Lord lives,’
you could do so
with truth, justice, and righteousness.
Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world,
and all people would come and praise my name.”

then nations will be blessed by him,
and in him they will boast.”
