Israel’s Future Blessing

14 [a](A)Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
For you have stumbled [b]because of your (B)iniquity.
Take words with you and return to the Lord.
Say to Him, “(C)Take away all iniquity
And [c]receive us graciously,
That we may (D)present [d]the fruit of our lips.
“Assyria will not save us,
We will (E)not ride on horses;
Nor will we say again, ‘(F)Our god,’
To the (G)work of our hands;
For in (H)You the [e]orphan finds mercy.”
