Yahweh’s Anger Turns Away from Israel

14 [a](A)Return, O Israel, to Yahweh your God,
For you have stumbled in your (B)iniquity.
Take words with you and return to Yahweh.
Say to Him, “(C)Forgive all iniquity
And [b]take what is good,
That we may (D)pay in full [c]the fruit of our lips.
Assyria will not save us;
We will (E)not ride on horses,
Nor will we say again, ‘(F)Our god,’
To the (G)work of our hands;
For in (H)You the [d]orphan finds compassion.”

14 O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Take with you words, and return unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and [a]accept that which is good: so will we render as bullocks the offering of our lips. Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
