  1. Isaiah 59:2 As in versions; M.T. faces

Return to Yahweh

12 “Yet even now,” declares Yahweh,
(A)Return to Me with all your heart
And with (B)fasting, weeping, and [a]wailing;
13 And (C)tear your heart and not (D)your garments.”
Now return to Yahweh your God,
For He is (E)gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness,
And (F)relenting concerning evil.

And leave a (H)blessing behind Him,
Even (I)a grain offering and a drink offering
For Yahweh your God?
