6 “Come, let us ^(A)return to the Lord;
    for ^(B)he has torn us, that he may heal us;
    he has struck us down, and ^(C)he will bind us up.

¹⁸ For he wounds, but he ^(A)binds up;
    he ^(B)shatters, but his hands heal.

^6 (A)The Lord kills and brings to life;
    he brings down to Sheol and raises up.

³     and ^(A)many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
    and that we may walk in his paths.”
For ^(B)out of Zion shall go forth the law,^[a]
    and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

^17 (A)For I will restore ^(B)health to you,
    and ^(C)your wounds I will heal,
declares the Lord,
because ^(D)they have called you an outcast:
    ^(E)‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares!’

⁷ let the wicked forsake his way,
    and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
    and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
