Jeremiah 4:2 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 2 Then you can say words like, 'As God lives . . . ' and have them mean something true and just and right. And the godless nations will get caught up in the blessing and find something in Israel to write home about." | 2 and if in a truthful, just and righteous way you swear, 'As surely as the LORD lives,' then the nations will be blessed by him and in him they will glory." |
