Hosea 14:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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 guilt;
accept that which is good,
    and we will offer
    the fruit^[a] of our lips.
³ Assyria shall not save us;
    we will not ride upon horses;
we will say no more, ‘Our God,’
    to the work of our hands.
In you the orphan finds mercy.”
