Hosea 14:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
14 1 The destruction of Samaria. 2 He exhorteth Israel to turn to God, who requireth praise and thanks.
1 Samaria shall be desolate: for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped.
2 O Israel, [a]return unto the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
3 Take unto you words, and turn to the Lord, and say unto him, [b]Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our [c]lips.

Repentance to Bring Blessing
14 [a]Return,(A) Israel, to the Lord your God.
Your sins(B) have been your downfall!(C)

and return to the Lord.
