1 O Israel 3478, return 7725 unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430; for thou hast fallen 3782 by thine iniquity 5771.
2 Take 3947 with you words 1697, and turn 7725 to the LORD 3068: say 559 unto him, Take away 5375 all iniquity 5771, and receive 3947 us graciously 2896: so will we render 7999 the calves 6499 of our lips 8193.
3 Asshur 804 shall not save 3467 us; we will not ride 7392 upon horses 5483: neither will we say 559 any more to the work 4639 of our hands 3027, Ye are our gods 430: for in thee the fatherless 3490 findeth mercy 7355.
4 I will heal 7495 their backsliding 4878, I will love 157 them freely 5071: for mine anger 639 is turned away 7725 from him.
5 I will be as the dew 2919 unto Israel 3478: he shall grow 6524 as the lily 7799, and cast forth 5221 his roots 8328 as Lebanon 3844.
6 His branches 3127 shall spread 3212, and his beauty 1935 shall be as the olive tree 2132, and his smell 7381 as Lebanon 3844.
7 They that dwell 3427 under his shadow 6738 shall return 7725; they shall revive 2421 as the corn 1715, and grow 6524 as the vine 1612: the scent 2143 thereof shall be as the wine 3196 of Lebanon 3844.
8 Ephraim 669 shall say, What have I to do any more with idols 6091? I have heard 6030 him, and observed 7789 him: I am like a green 7488 fir tree 1265. From me is thy fruit 6529 found 4672.
9 Who is wise 2450, and he shall understand 995 these things? prudent 995, and he shall know 3045 them? for the ways 1870 of the LORD 3068 are right 3477, and the just 6662 shall walk 3212 in them: but the transgressors 6586 shall fall 3782 therein.
