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.”

A Plea for Repentance
14 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.(A)
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.(B)
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.”(C)
