Return to the Lord

12 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
^m“return to me with all your heart,
ⁿwith fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;

Return to the Lord your God,
^qfor he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
^rand he relents over disaster.

and ^tleave a blessing behind him,
^ua grain offering and a drink offering
for the Lord your God?

^wconsecrate a fast;
call a solemn assembly;

assemble the elders;
^ygather the children,
even nursing infants.
^zLet the bridegroom leave his room,
and the bride her chamber.
17 ^aaBetween the ^abvestibule and the ^acaltar
^adlet the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
and say, “Spare your people, O Lord,
and make not your heritage a reproach,
a byword among the nations. ^{▼▼Or reproach, that the nations should rule over them}
^afWhy should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”
