Hosea 14:1-3

Modern English Version

14 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
    for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.
² Take words with you
    and return to the Lord.
Say to Him,
    “Take away all iniquity,
and accept that which is good;
    and we will offer the fruit^[a] of our lips!
³ Assyria will not save us,
    we will not ride on horses.
We will no longer say, ‘Our God,’
    to the work of our hands.
    In You the orphan finds mercy.”
