1 Israel, return to the Lord your God.You have stumbled because of your sins.
2 Return to the Lord, and say these things to him:“Forgive all our sins, and kindly receive us.Then we’ll praise you with our lips.
3 Assyria cannot save us.We won’t ride on horses anymore.We will never again saythat the things our hands have made are our gods.You love orphans.”
4 ⌊The Lord says,⌋ “I will cure them of their unfaithfulness.I will love them freely.I will no longer be angry with them.
