A Plea to Return to the Lord

1 ^zReturn, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for ^aayou have stumbled because of your iniquity.

and return to the Lord;
say to him,
“Take away all iniquity;
accept ^abwhat is good,
and we will pay with bulls
^acthe vows ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac pay the fruit} of our lips.
3 ^aeAssyria shall not save us;
^afwe will not ride on horses;
and ^agwe will say no more, ‘Our God,’
to the work of our hands.
^ahIn you the orphan finds mercy.”
4 I ^aiwill heal their apostasy;
^ajI will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
