Return to the Lord

12 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
^f“return to me with all your heart,
^gwith fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
13 and ^hrend your hearts and not ⁱyour garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
^jfor he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
^kand he relents over disaster.
14 ^lWho knows whether he will not turn and relent,
and ^mleave a blessing behind him,
ⁿa grain offering and a drink offering
for the Lord your God?

Jonah 3:9

9 ^oWho knows? God may turn and relent ^pand turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”
