|

###### 1
|
||
|
|
Return, O Israel, to Yahweh your God, For you have stumbled in your iniquity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Take words with you and return to Yahweh. Say to Him, "Forgive all iniquity And take _what is_ good, That we may pay in full the fruit of our lips.
|
||
|
|
|

###### 3
|
||
|
|
Assyria will not save us; We will not ride on horses, Nor will we say again, 'Our god,' To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds compassion."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
I will heal their turning away _from Me_; I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
I will be like the dew to Israel; He will flourish like the lily, And he will take root like _the cedars of_ Lebanon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
His shoots will go forth, And his splendor will be like the olive tree And his fragrance like _the cedars of_ Lebanon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Those who live in his shadow Will again raise grain, And they will flourish like the vine. His _name of_ remembrance _will be_ like the wine of Lebanon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like a luxuriant cypress; From Me comes your fruit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|

|
|
Whoever is wise, so let him discern these things; _Whoever_ is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of Yahweh are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But transgressors will stumble in them.
