Hosea 14:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 Take with you words,
and return to the Lord;
Say to him, “Forgive all iniquity,
and take what is good.
Let us offer the fruit of our lips.(A)
4 [a]Assyria will not save us,
nor will we mount horses;(B)
We will never again say, ‘Our god,’
to the work of our hands;
for in you the orphan finds compassion.”(C)
5 I will heal their apostasy,
I will love them freely;
for my anger is turned away from them.
