Hosea 14:1-3
Legacy Standard Bible
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.
2 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.
3 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 Israel, return to Yahweh your God,(A)
for you have stumbled in your sin.(B)
