Jeremiah 4a - Plough Your Field Before you Plant

God, and then the prophet himself beseech the people to mend their ways to prevent the coming destruction.  There is still a chance if you stop listening to the false prophets who tell you that everything will be fine.  You must actually improve your ways to come back to God.  If you do, you will be a source of justice and righteousness for the entire world to follow. If you don't, the the destroyers of nations will come to destroy instead of build.
