A Plea to Return to the Lord

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