O Israel{H3478}, return{H7725}{(H8798)} unto the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}; for thou hast fallen{H3782}{(H8804)} by thine iniquity{H5771}.

Take{H3947}{(H8798)} with you words{H1697}, and turn{H7725}{(H8798)} to the LORD{H3068}: say{H559}{(H8798)} unto him, Take away{H5375}{(H8799)} all iniquity{H5771}, and receive{H3947}{(H8798)} us graciously{H2896}: so will we render{H7999}{(H8762)} the calves{H6499} of our lips{H8193}.

Asshur{H804} shall not save{H3467}{(H8686)} us; we will not ride{H7392}{(H8799)} upon horses{H5483}: neither will we say{H559}{(H8799)} any more to the work{H4639} of our hands{H3027}, Ye are our gods{H430}: for in thee the fatherless{H3490} findeth mercy{H7355}{(H8792)}.

I will heal{H7495}{(H8799)} their backsliding{H4878}, I will love{H157}{(H8799)} them freely{H5071}: for mine anger{H639} is turned away{H7725}{(H8804)} from him.

I will be as the dew{H2919} unto Israel{H3478}: he shall grow{H6524}{(H8799)} as the lily{H7799}, and cast forth{H5221}{(H8686)} his roots{H8328} as Lebanon{H3844}.

His branches{H3127} shall spread{H3212}{(H8799)}, and his beauty{H1935} shall be as the olive tree{H2132}, and his smell{H7381} as Lebanon{H3844}.

They that dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} under his shadow{H6738} shall return{H7725}{(H8799)}; they shall revive{H2421}{(H8762)} as the corn{H1715}, and grow{H6524}{(H8799)} 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 heard{H6030}{(H8804)} him, and observed{H7789}{(H8799)} him: I am like a green{H7488} fir tree{H1265}. From me is thy fruit{H6529} found{H4672}{(H8738)}.

Who is wise{H2450}, and he shall understand{H995}{(H8799)} these things? prudent{H995}{(H8737)}, and he shall know{H3045}{(H8799)} them? for the ways{H1870} of the LORD{H3068} are right{H3477}, and the just{H6662} shall walk{H3212}{(H8799)} in them: but the transgressors{H6586}{(H8802)} shall fall{H3782}{(H8735)} therein.
