New Living Translation
13 Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,
but tear your hearts instead.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He is eager to relent and not punish.

sending you a blessing instead of this curse.
Perhaps you will be able to offer grain and wine
to the Lord your God as before.
