1 O Israel, return to the Lord your God,For you have stumbled because of your iniquity;
2 Take words with you,And return to the Lord.Say to Him,“Take away all iniquity;Receive us graciously,For we will offer the sacrifices of our lips.
3 Assyria shall not save us,We will not ride on horses,Nor will we say anymore to the work of our hands, ‘You are our gods.’For in You the fatherless finds mercy.”
4 “I will heal their backsliding,I will love them freely,For My anger has turned away from him.
