Chapter 14

Repentance to Bring Blessing

1Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God.
Your sins have been your downfall!

2Take words with you
and return to the LORD.
Say to him:
“Forgive all our sins
and receive us graciously,
that we may offer the fruit of our lips.Or offer our lips as sacrifices of bulls

3Assyria cannot save us;
we will not mount war-horses.
We will never again say ‘Our gods’
to what our own hands have made,
for in you the fatherless find compassion.”

4“I will heal their waywardness
and love them freely,
for my anger has turned away from them.

5I will be like the dew to Israel;
he will blossom like a lily.
Like a cedar of Lebanon
he will send down his roots;

6his young shoots will grow.
His splendor will be like an olive tree,
his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.

7Men will dwell again in his shade.
He will flourish like the grain.
He will blossom like a vine,
and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon.

8O Ephraim, what more have IOr What more has Ephraim to do with idols?
I will answer him and care for him.
I am like a green pine tree;
your fruitfulness comes from me.”

9Who is wise? He will realize these things.
Who is discerning? He will understand them.
The ways of the LORD are right;
the righteous walk in them,
but the rebellious stumble in them.
