‘Return, backsliding Israel,’ says the Lord;
‘I will not cause My anger to fall on you.
For I am ^(B)merciful,’ says the Lord;
‘I will not remain angry forever.
^13 (C)Only acknowledge your iniquity,
That you have transgressed against the Lord your God,
And have ^(D)scattered your ^[a]charms
To ^(E)alien deities ^(F)under every green tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,’ says the Lord.

²² “Return, you backsliding children,
And I will ^(A)heal your backslidings.”

“Indeed we do come to You,
For You are the Lord our God.
