The Compassion of the Lord
1 c“Come, everyone who thirsts,come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
dcome, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
2 eWhy do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
3Incline your ear, and come to me;
fhear, that your soul may live;
gand I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
hmy steadfast, sure love for iDavid.
Isaiah 55:6-7
6 j“Seek 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.

declares the Lord.
I will not look on you in anger,
for mI am merciful,
declares the Lord;
nI will not be angry forever.
13 oOnly acknowledge your guilt,
that you rebelled against the Lord your God
and scattered your favors among foreigners under pevery green tree,
and that you have not obeyed my voice,
declares the Lord.
14 qReturn, O faithless children,
declares the Lord;
rfor I am your master;
I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
and I will bring you to Zion.
Jeremiah 31:18-20
18I have heard sEphraim grieving,‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined,
like an untrained calf;
tbring me back that I may be restored,
for you are the Lord my God.
19For after uI had turned away, I relented,
and after I was instructed, vI struck my thigh;
wI was ashamed, and I was confounded,
because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 xIs Ephraim my dear son?
yIs he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
I do remember him still.
zTherefore my heart ▼
▼Hebrew bowels
yearns for him;I will surely have mercy on him,
declares the Lord.

alI will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
