1 Turn back, O Israel, even to Jehovah thy God, for thou wert weak in thine iniquity. 2 Take with you words and turn back to Jehovah: say to him, Thou wilt take away all iniquity, and take good: and we will requite the fruits of our lips. 3 Assur will not save us; we will not ride upon a horse, and we will no more say, Our God, to the work of our hands, for in thee the orphan shall be compassionated. 4 I will heal their turning away, I loved them largely: for mine anger turned away from him. 5 I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall blossom as the lily and strike his roots as Lebanon. 6 His sprouts shall go, and his strength shall be as the olive tree, and the odor to him as Lebanon. 7 They sitting in his shadow shall turn back; they shall live upon the grain, and they shall blossom as the vine: his remembrance as the wine of Lebanon.
