Proverbs 1:23

23If you turn at my reproof,
Or Will you turn away at my reproof?

behold, I will bpour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you.

Isaiah 31:6

6 cTurn to him from whom people
Hebrew they
have edeeply revolted, O children of Israel.

Isaiah 55:6-7

6 fSeek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Jeremiah 3:14-22

14 gReturn, O faithless children,

declares the Lord;
hfor I am your master;
I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
and I will bring you to Zion.
15“‘And iI will give you shepherds after my own heart, jwho will feed you with knowledge and understanding. 16And when you have multiplied and been fruitful in the land, in those days, declares the Lord, they shall no more say, “The ark of the covenant of the Lord.” It shall not come to mind or be remembered or missed; it shall not be made again. 17At that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the Lord, kand all nations shall gather to it, lto the presence of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they shall no more stubbornly follow their own evil heart. 18 mIn those days the house of Judah shall join the house of Israel, and together they shall come from the land nof the north to othe land that I gave your fathers for a heritage.

19 “‘I said,
How I would set you among my sons,
and give you a pleasant land,
a heritage most beautiful of all nations.
And I thought you would pcall me, My Father,
and would not turn from following me.
20 qSurely, as a treacherous wife leaves her husband,
so have you been treacherous to me, O house of Israel,

declares the Lord.’”
21 A voice on the rbare heights is heard,
sthe weeping and pleading of Israel’s sons
because they have perverted their way;
they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 tReturn, O faithless sons;
uI will heal your faithlessness.”
Behold, we come to you,
for you are the Lord our God.

Lamentations 3:39-41

39 vWhy should a living man complain,
a man, about the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us test and examine our ways,
wand return to the Lord!
41 xLet us lift up our hearts and hands
to God in heaven:

Hosea 14:1

A Plea to Return to the Lord

1 yReturn, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for zyou have stumbled because of your iniquity.

Joel 2:13

13and aarend your hearts and not abyour garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
acfor he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
adand he relents over disaster.
