If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.

Si reverteris, Israël, ait Dominus, ad me convertere : si abstuleris offendicula tua a facie mea, non commoveberis.
Vulgate
Ἐὰν ἐπιστραφῇ Ἰσραήλ, λέγει Κύριος, πρὸς μέ, ἐπιστραφήσεται· ἐὰν περιέλῃ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτοῦ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου εὐλαβηθῇ,
LXX
If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith Jehovah, if thou wilt return unto me, and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight; then shalt thou not be removed;

Q. But may we swear an oath in God's name if we do it reverently? A. Yes, when the government demands it, or when necessity requires it, in order to maintain and promote truth and trustworthiness for the glory of God and our neighbor's good. Such oaths are approved in God's Word and were rightly used by Old and New Testament believers.
