1 Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for your sin has been your downfall! 2 Return to the LORD and repent! Say to him: |Completely forgive our iniquity; accept our penitential prayer, that we may offer the praise of our lips as sacrificial bulls. 3 Assyria cannot save us; we will not ride warhorses. We will never again say, 'Our gods' to what our own hands have made. For only you will show compassion to Orphan Israel!| 4 I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger will turn away from them. Hosea 14:1-4, New English Translation.
