14 [a]Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for your sins have brought you down.

Say to him,
“Forgive all our sins and graciously receive us,
so that we may offer you our praises.[b]

Never again will we say to the idols we have made,
‘You are our gods.’
No, in you alone
do the orphans find mercy.”
