Hosea 14:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.^(A)
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.”^(B)

⁴ I will heal their disloyalty;
    I will love them freely,
    for my anger has turned from them.^(C)
