15 I will go away and return to My place
Until they [a](A)acknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly (B)seek Me.

The Response to God’s Rebuke

(C)Come, let us return to the Lord.
For (D)He has torn us, but (E)He will heal us;
He has [b]wounded us, but He will (F)bandage us.
“He will (G)revive us after two days;
He will (H)raise us up on the third day,
That we may live before Him.
“So let us (I)know, let us press on to know the Lord.
His (J)going forth is as certain as the dawn;
And He will come to us like the (K)rain,
Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
