Return to the Lord your God,
For He is (D)gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
14 (E)Who knows if He will turn and relent,
And leave (F)a blessing behind Him—
(G)A grain offering and a drink offering
For the Lord your God?

When they wailed upon their beds.

[b]They rebel against Me;
15 Though I disciplined and strengthened their arms,
Yet they devise evil against Me;
16 They return, but not [c]to the Most High;
(C)They are like a treacherous bow.
Their princes shall fall by the sword
For the (D)cursings of their tongue.
This shall be their derision (E)in the land of Egypt.
