Return to the Lord

12 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
greturn to me with all your heart,
hwith fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
13and irend your hearts and not jyour garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
kfor he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
land he relents over disaster.
14 mWho knows whether he will not turn and relent,
and nleave a blessing behind him,
oa grain offering and a drink offering
for the Lord your God?
15 pBlow the trumpet in Zion;
qconsecrate a fast;
call a solemn assembly;
