Bible Text  (Scroll to Verse)  [Copy]

1 O Israel, return to the LORD [Yahweh] your God; for you have fallen by your iniquity.
2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD [Yahweh]: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
 - WORDS - SPOKEN
3 Asshur will not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [You are] our gods: for in you the fatherless finds mercy.
4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for my anger is turned away from him.
5 I will be as the dew to Israel: he will grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 His branches will spread, and his beauty will be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7 They that dwell under his shadow will return; they will revive [as] the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent of it [will be] as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim [will say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard [him], and observed him: I [am] like a green fir tree. From me is your fruit found.
9 Who [is] wise, and he will understand these [things]? prudent, and he will know them? for the ways of the LORD [Yahweh] [are] right, and the just will walk in them: but the transgressors will fall therein.
