O Israel,{H3478} return{H7725} unto Jehovah{H3068} thy God;{H430} for thou hast fallen{H3782} by thine iniquity.{H5771}

Take{H3947} with you words,{H1697} and return{H7725} unto Jehovah:{H3068} say{H559} unto him, Take away{H5375} all iniquity,{H5771} and accept{H3947} that which is good:{H2896} so will we render{H7999} [as] bullocks{H6499} [the offering of] our lips.{H8193}

Assyria{H804} shall not save{H3467} us; we will not ride{H7392} upon horses;{H5483} neither will we say{H559} any more to the work{H4639} of our hands,{H3027} [Ye are] our gods;{H430} for in thee the fatherless{H3490} findeth mercy.{H7355}

I will heal{H7495} their backsliding,{H4878} I will love{H157} them freely;{H5071} for mine anger{H639} is turned away{H7725} from him.

I will be as the dew{H2919} unto Israel;{H3478} he shall blossom{H6524} as the lily,{H7799} and cast forth{H5221} his roots{H8328} as Lebanon.{H3844}

His branches{H3127} shall spread,{H3212} and his beauty{H1935} shall be as the olive-tree,{H2132} and his smell{H7381} as Lebanon.{H3844}

They that dwell{H3427} under his shadow{H6738} shall return;{H7725} they shall revive{H2421} [as] the grain,{H1715} and blossom{H6524} as the vine:{H1612} the scent{H2143} thereof shall be as the wine{H3196} of Lebanon.{H3844}

Ephraim{H669} [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols?{H6091} I have answered,{H6030} and will regard{H7789} him: I am like a green{H7488} fir-tree;{H1265} from me is thy fruit{H6529} found.{H4672}

Who is wise,{H2450} that he may understand{H995} these things? prudent,{H995} that he may know{H3045} them? for the ways{H1870} of Jehovah{H3068} are right,{H3477} and the just{H6662} shall walk{H3212} in them; but transgressors{H6586} shall fall{H3782} therein.
