Simple English

Terrible things will happen to the Gentiles, says the Lord God of Hosts. Even though I reach out to them every day, they will say no to me. But I will be kind to them, says the Lord God, if they stop sinning and come to me. My arms are open all day long, says the Lord God of Hosts.

Paraphrase

Woe to the Gentiles, says the Lord God of Hosts. Even though I keep reaching out to them day after day, they’ll reject me. But I’ll be merciful to them if they turn away from their sins and come to me. My arms are stretched out all day long, says the Lord God of Hosts.
