A Plea to Return to the Lord

1 ^rReturn, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for ^syou have stumbled because of your iniquity.
2 Take with you words
and return to the Lord;
say to him,
“Take away all iniquity;
accept ^twhat is good,
and we will pay with bulls
^uthe vows ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac pay the fruit} of our lips.
3 ^wAssyria shall not save us;
^xwe will not ride on horses;
and ^ywe will say no more, ‘Our God,’
to the work of our hands.
^zIn you the orphan finds mercy.”
