1 O Israel, become converted unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
2 Take with you words, and be converted unto the Lord; say unto him, Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously, so will we render the calves of our lips.
3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses, neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods, for in thee the fatherless finds mercy.
4 I will heal their rebellion; I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.
5 I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall flourish as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 His branches shall spread, and his glory shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
