Israel and Judah Are Unrepentant

“Come, let us (C)return to the Lord;
    for (D)he has torn us, that he may heal us;
    he has struck us down, and (E)he will bind us up.
After two days (F)he will revive us;
    on the third day he will raise us up,
    that we may live before him.
(G)Let us know; (H)let us press on to know the Lord;
    (I)his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us (J)as the showers,
    (K)as the spring rains that water the earth.”

    What shall I do with you, O (N)Judah?
Your love is (O)like a morning cloud,
    (P)like the dew that goes early away.

    they (E)lied to him with their tongues.
