The Contemporary English Version is unavailable, but you can change that!

The Contemporary English Version has been described as a "user-friendly" and a "mission-driven" translation that can be read aloud without stumbling, heard without misunderstanding, and listened to with enjoyment and appreciation, because the language is contemporary and the style is lucid and lyrical.

The LORD said: Israel, if you really want to come back to me, get rid of those disgusting idols. Make promises only in my name, and do what you promise! Then all nations will praise me, and I will bless them. People of Jerusalem and Judah, don’t be so stubborn! Your hearts have become hard, like unplowed ground where thornbushes grow.
Jeremiah 4:1–3
