  • 1 Repentance to Bring Blessing 14 In Hebrew texts 14:1-9 is numbered 14:2-10. Return, Israel, to the Lord your God. Your sins have been your downfall!
  • 2 Take 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. 14:2 Or offer our lips as sacrifices of bulls
  • 3 Assyria cannot save us; we will not mount warhorses. 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.
  • 5 I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon he will send down his roots;
  • 6 his young shoots will grow. His splendor will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.
  • 7 People will dwell again in his shade; they will flourish like the grain, they will blossom like the vine— Israel’s fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.
  • 8 Ephraim, what more have I 14:8 Or Hebrew; Septuagint What more has Ephraim to do with idols? I will answer him and care for him. I am like a flourishing juniper; your fruitfulness comes from me.”
  • 9 Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
