1. Israel, return to the Lord your God;for you have fallen because of your sin.
2. Take words with you, and return to the Lord.Tell him, “Forgive all our sins,and accept that which is good:so we offer our lips like bulls.
3. Assyria can’t save us.We won’t ride on horses;neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”
4. “I will heal their waywardness.I will love them freely;for my anger is turned away from him.
