Hosea 14:1-3

New Century Version

14 Israel, return to the Lord your God,
    because your sins have made you fall.
² Come back to the Lord
    and say these words to him:
“Take away all our sin
    and kindly receive us,
and we will keep the promises we made to you.
³ Assyria cannot save us,
    nor will we trust in our horses.
We will not say again, ‘Our gods,’
    to the things our hands have made.
    You show mercy to orphans.”
