Hosea 14:2-4

Complete Jewish Bible

^2 (1) Return, Isra’el, to Adonai your God,
for your guilt has made you stumble.
^3 (2) Take words with you, and return to Adonai;
say to him, “Forgive all guilt,
and accept what is good;
we will pay instead of bulls
[the offerings of] our lips.
^4 (3) Ashur will not save us,
we will not ride on horses,
and we will no longer call
what we made with our hands our gods.
For it is only in you
that the fatherless can find mercy.”
