1 Israel, return to Yahweh your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.
2 Take words with you, and return to Yahweh. Tell him, โForgive all our sins, and accept that which is good: so we offer our lips like bulls.
3 Assyria canโt save us. We wonโt ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, โOur gods!โ for in you the fatherless finds mercy.โ
4 โI will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from him.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.
6 His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green fir tree; from me your fruit is found.โ
9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them.
