²² Return, you rebellious children,
    and I will forgive your faithlessness.
Here we are! We are returning to you,
    for you are the Lord, our God.
²³ The hills are truly a delusion,
    as is the tumult on the mountains.
Truly in the Lord, our God alone
    is the salvation of Israel.
²⁴ Ever since we were young,
    Baal has devoured everything
    for which our fathers toiled:
their flocks and their herds,
    their sons and their daughters.
